  • Routes to Riches 2015 1 Danielhenryalaska.Com
    Routes to Riches 2015 1 danielhenryalaska.com Routes to Riches Daniel Lee Henry [email protected] A ground squirrel robe nearly smothered northern Tlingits’ nascent trust in their newly-landed missionaries. Long-time trading ties with Southern Tutchone and Interior Tlingit funneled wealth to Native residents of the upper Lynn Canal. Luxurious furs from the frigid north brought prices many times that of local pelts. For example, while the coastal red fox fur was worth $1.75 in “San Francisco dollars” in 1883, a Yukon silver fox brought up to $50 (about $1200 in 2015). Several times a year, Tlingit expeditions traversed routes considered secret until local leaders revealed their existence to Russians and Americans in the mid-nineteenth century. A day’s paddle to the upper Chilkat River brought travelers to a trail leading over through barrier coastal mountains into the vast, rolling subarctic Interior. On the eastern route, packers left Dyea at the terminus of Taiya Inlet and slogged a twenty-mile trail to a keyhole pass into lake country that drains into the Yukon River headwaters. The image of prospectors struggling up the “Golden Staircase” to Chilkoot Pass engraved the Klondike gold rush of ‘98 onto the license plates of cultural memory. For centuries, Chilkats and Chilkoots sustained a trading cartel connected by their respective routes. From tide’s edge to the banks of the Yukon River four hundred miles north, Tlingits insisted on customer allegiance. They discouraged Interior trading partners from commerce with anyone but themselves and expressly prohibited economic activity without invitation. The 1852 siege of Fort Selkirk and subsequent expulsion of Hudson’s Bay Company demonstrated the market realities of the Chilkat/Chilkoot cartel.

  • Klondike Trivia 2021
    Klondike Gold Rush https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klondike_Gold_Rush The Klondike Gold Rush was a migration by an estimated 100,000 prospectors to the Klondike region of the Yukon in north-western Canada between 1896 and 1899. Gold was discovered there by local miners on August 16, 1896, and, when news reached Seattle and San Francisco the following year, it triggered a stampede of prospectors. Some became wealthy, but the majority went in vain. It has been immortalized in photographs, books, films, and artifacts. Only a handful of the 100,000 people who left for the Klondike during the gold rush became rich.[30] They typically spent $1,000 ($27,000) each reaching the region, which when combined exceeded what was produced from the gold fields between 1897 and 1901. At the same time, most of those who did find gold lost their fortunes in the subsequent years. To reach the gold fields, most took the route through the ports of Dyea and Skagway in Southeast Alaska. Here, the Klondikers could follow either the Chilkoot or the White Pass trails to the Yukon River and sail down to the Klondike. Each of them was required to bring a year's supply of food by the Canadian authorities in order to prevent starvation. In all, their equipment weighed close to a ton, which for most had to be carried in stages by themselves. Together with mountainous terrain and cold climate, this meant that those who persisted did not arrive until summer 1898. Once there, they found few opportunities, and many left disappointed.

SOUND RECORDINGS ................................................................................................. 23 FORWARD For centuries the Chilkat Indians in southeast Alaska guarded their trading trail up the Chilkat River and through the Coastal Mountains into the interior of what is now the Yukon Territory. At the settlement of Nesketaheen the Chilkats traded with other Indian tribes from Klukshu, Hutshi Lakes, Aishihik, and Copper River. In the late 1880s increased numbers of prospectors, explorers, missionaries and others moved up the coast from Seattle, British Columbia and other areas and "the secret trail of the Chilkats was soon 'discovered’. l In 1890 an expedition sponsored by the Frank Leslie Illustrated Newspaper and led by E. Hazard Wells and E.J. Glave working for the Frank Leslie Illustrated Newspaper, with A.B. Schantz and Jack Dalton, travelled the trail to Kusawa Lake. Here the group split, with Dalton and Glave returning down the Alsek River to the sea coast. The following year Glave and Dalton took the first packhorses from pyramid Harbour to Lake Kluane. Accounts of these journeys which describe this country, its Indian settlements and activities have been published. 2 Dalton saw the potential for the country and made plans to establish trading posts along a trail into the interior. By 1896 he had built a home and trading post at pyramid Harbour, a post at Pleasant Camp and one at Dalton House, a mile upstream on the Tatshenshini River from Nesketaheen.

Stock#: 30039 Map Maker: Tyrrell Date: 1897 Place: Washington, DC Color: Color Condition: VG Size: 23.5 x 16.5 inches Price: SOLD Description: Rare separately issued map of the routes to the Klondike and Yukon mining regions, featuring the Dalton Trail and Copper River routes to the Gold Fields, likely published surreptiously by Joseph Burr Tyrrell of the Geological Survey of Canada, shortly before his resignation from the GSC. Tyrrell's map is without question one of the finest maps of the region published at the outset of the Klondike and Yukon gold rush in 1897. The meticulous delineation of the Dalton Trail (and 2 related trails) and Cooper River routes to the region, delineation of topographical details, elevations and annotations within the map are of particular note, providing many fine details not normally included in this type of ephemeral "boom" guide map. A note in the center of the map gives details on the currents of the Yukon and Lewes Rivers, depths and notes regarding the increased depth and navigability by steamships in the Spring. A second note lengthy note describes the use of the White River as access to the region, a 5 day Portage between the Tanana River and the White River, and a number of other trail notes. The map also illustrates a number of the coastal Glaciers in the region, including Bering Glacier, Malaspina Glacier, Grand Plateau Glacier, Muir Glacier, Mead Glacier and Miles Glacier.
