19108119C1910. Hadley/Alaska. around 1910-1920. Three different formats. Thirteen photographs. Original photographs black-white. Mostly full-page format without a framing. With commentaries at the back sides Swedish Language. Photographs with some minor crinkles at corners and little rubbing. Partly a bit faded at the edges but mostly still with good contrasts. Paper is a bit bent. Appropriate to its age and origin still in good condition. The thirteen photographs include different views on the former copper smelting town Hadley at the Prince of Wales Island Alaska US. In Hadley once the mined copper ores have been melted and processed later the extracted copper was shipped to other places. The photographs exist in three different formats: a small one ca. 164 x 215 cm a middle size ca. 191 x 241 cm and a bigger format ca. 20 x 252 cm. The black-white photographs still own their contrast although a few of them are fading a little bit at the edges. The thirteen photographs give us very different perspectives on this historical place: smelter buildings seen from the near and distanced overviews from a ship. Detailled views on the pier with rails on a building in construction in snow on a ship at the pier and on a cleared piece of land probably for new buildings. One photograph is even showing one of the ships for travelling called "Marion". A main overview owns a small stamp and note at the front: "Alaska Smelting & Refining Co. / General View Smelter Buildings". Most of the photographs own commentaries on the back sides in swedish language. Some with two or three lines a few with ten lines of text Please see the given fotografic examples. The photographs very probably have been made by a swedish engineer working at Hadley. There has been copper mining and extracting in Sweden long before Alaska became a part of the US. One photograph shows two little girls with blond hair staying in the wood. It seems to be a family portrait maybe they have been the daughters of this swedish man. There is also an envelope newer one by Svenska Handelsbanken with the handwritten swedish title: "Fotografier fran Hadley Alaska". Very rare historical material from Alaska in the first two decades of the 20th century! unknown

Dear Mother:- It is almost time for the brat to come back after mail for the south so I will tell you all we have been doing this week. Sunday was a wonderful day we took our lunch and walked out on theComing back we gathered seven kinds of wild flowers daisies buttercups violets wild sweet pea a light purple flower similar to our columbine only smaller a dark purple flower almost like our snap dragon and salmon berry blossoms. There are quantities of ferns everywhere. I have a centerpiece for my dining table made of a tin can cut down to two inchesWith much love for father and yourself Alice.b ALS. June 30 1921. Fort Liscum Alaska. Dear Mother :- If you could look in and see us I think you would say we have a very pretty and comfortable home. Out things arrived early Tuesday morning and they were all uncrated and mostly in place Tuesday night. The things which I ordered from Sears-Roebuck came at the same time.c ALS. March 13 1922. Fort Liscum Alaska. Dear Mother:- Can you image what it would be like to have a March wind blowing a gale with about three feet of loose snow on top of a crust That is what we have had for twenty-four hours sometimes we couldnt see the nearest houses there are drifts every where the most bothersome one is in front of our dining room windowsWe were all very much excited yesterday the order came confirming the rumor that Liscum is to be abandoned and asking how long it will take to get everything ready to be moved to Ft. Seward with about nine ft of snow on the ground we replied at least two months. George has asked for a Transport June tenth. As the order reads we go to Ft. Seward but George is still hoping to be brought back to the States and go to Benning. I rather dislike the idea of packing everything again in just one year!d ALS. May 21 1922. Fort Liscum Alaska. Dear Aunt Laura:- This is Georges birthday and we have been celebrating by having our first picnic of the season in a rocky cove down at the end of Swansport. We took frying pans and built a fire so as to cook beefsteak fry potatoes and make coffee. It certainly does taste good out of doors. In order to get to the camping place we had to walk quite a distance overa short play in which Donald made his first appearance on the stage he did better than I expected and looked quite grown up in a long trouser suit. All the children were promoted with an average of about 90. We have all had bad colds but are feeling fine today. We were very sorry to hear that Uncle Perl has been so miserable and hope he will improve a lot and enjoy the summer he usually feels better when he can get out doors more. When I wrote you after Christmas I thought I spoke about Helens Sash it is perfectly stunning with her blue corduroy dress and she was so pleased with it. Much love to you both Alice. unknown
