[Hand drawn map of Dutch Harbor area on notebook paper.]
This collection contains photographs taken by Ed Conrad during his prospecting expedition to the Klondike, as well as one hand drawn map of Unalaska and Dutch Harbor, and two letters home to Conrad’s wife that were published in the "The Hammond News." In his letters home, Conrad mentions the men he travels with, having to build sluices and cabins, and trade for supplies. All this is captured in his photographs.
