Download date 01/10/2021 03:33:58 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/7874 ALASKA SOURDOUGH: BREAD, BEARDS AND YEAST By Susannah T. Dowds, B.A. A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of the Arts in Northern Studies University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Terrence Cole, Committee Chair Mary Ehrlander, Committee Member Director of Arctic and Northern Studies Molly Lee, Committee Member Todd Sherman Dean of the College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini Dean of the Graduate School Abstract Sourdough is a fermented mixture of flour and water used around the world to leaven dough. In this doughy world wide web of sourdough, one thread leads to Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Commonly associated with the gold rush era, sourdough is known both as a pioneer food and as a title for a long-time resident. Less well known is the live culture of microbes, yeasts and bacteria that were responsible for creating the ferment for nutritious bread, pancakes, and biscuits on the trail. Through the lens of sourdough, this study investigates the intersection of microbes and human culture: how microbes contribute taste and texture to baked goods; why sourdough, made from imported ingredients, became a traditional food in the North; and how “Sourdough” grew to signify an experienced northerner. A review of research about sourdough microflora, coupled with excerpts from archival sources, illuminates how human and microbial cultures intertwined to make sourdough an everyday food in isolated communities and mining camps.

He came north during the 1930s to mine and prospect for gold, and to escape the effects of the Great Depression. After arriving in Interior Alaska, Oscar went to work on #10 Above Discovery on Cleary Creek, the richest creek in the Fairbanks district, a claim that Oscar would later own and live on for decades. Oscar and his brother, Carl, prospected and test-mined lode gold in the Goodpaster district, near where the Pogo Gold Mine now operates. After nearly 60 years of placer mining and prospecting, Oscar retired. When he died at the age of 99, his obituary indicated the cause of death as “authentic old age”. Glen DeForde Franklin was born in Chewelah, Washington, and came north to study business administration at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, and to seek opportunity. He was a gifted athlete and musician. Before World War II, he worked with Ernest Patty at the Coal Creek dredge.
