1901WRCAM54818Rampart Ak 1901. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Each page printed in four columns. Folio. Misfolded and neatly split along the center vertical fold with resulting large margin in first leaf. Tiny closed edge tear old tideline in upper margin of first leaf evenly toned. About very good. The extremely rare extra issue of the ALASKA FORUM printed entirely as a promotional publication to attract miners to Rampart Alaska during the gold rush. The four pages of the EXTRA include various reports of the fabulous finds in the area of Rampart "on the Yukon River in American territory about mid way between St. Michaels and Dawson City or approximately one thousand miles from each." Headlines include news such as "A New Eldorado" "Richer than Ever" "Bench Diggings" and "Paystreak is Located." Additional articles concern areas overlooked in the past opportunities for quartz prospectors the need for machinery capital and summer mining "Rampart No Longer A Winter Camp Exclusively - More Summer Work Than Ever Before." <br> <br> Clearly published to promote mining and by extension economic development in Rampart and the surrounding region the column-long editorial on page 2 states: <br> <br> "It is the intention of the publishers of the ALASKA FORUM by means of this special issue to bring to the attention of people in the Eastern states the claim of Rampart City Alaska as the gold mining center of this Territory. To that end thousands of copies of the FORUM are being distributed over New England and the Eastern states. We believe and we are backing that belief with good money that the growth of this town cannot fail to be rapid once capitalists and others are led to appreciate the unrivalled advantages Rampart offers to investor and wage earner alike. With the growth of the town will come the no less certain growth of this FORUM and therein we find justification for this issue." <br> <br> While the exact number of copies printed of this EXTRA is not known we have been able to locate only two other copies of this Sept. 1 1901 special issue at the Beinecke Library and the DeGolyer Library. Printed between Sept. 27 1900 and Aug. 4 1906 few copies of any issue of ALASKA FORUM have survived. Of the ten locations listed in OCLC four libraries including all three Alaska institutions hold only microfilm sets. The University of Washington holds twenty individual issues from 1904 and 1905 NYPL has issues from 1905 Denver Public Library has a single issue from 1905 the American Antiquarian Society holds just the Sept. 25 1900 issue and the Beinecke holds an additional single issue from 1901. <br> <br> A remarkable surviving promotional publication from the Alaskan gold rush.

19445859Fairbanks Alaska: The Church; Printed by Tanana Publishing 1944. Ring-bound octavo-size book 23 x 15.25 cm. ii 160 ii pages. Advertisements. Table of contents. List of advertisers. Printer suggested from advertisement on page 128. ~ Evident first edition. A church cookbook with more than two hundred recipes many of them attributed. Among entries warranting notice: Black-Eyed Pea Soup Dried Pear Bread Bohemian Kolaches Norwegian Horns Okanagan Salad Raw Turnip Salad Green Rice Ring Codfish Baked with Cheese Alaskan Cranberry Pork Chops Corned Moose Meat Carrot Beef Loaf Barbecued Lima Beans Hominy Pie Raisin Tarts Pumpkin Cake Potato Cake with walnuts Swedish Pepper Cookies Apricot Mousse Cranberry Ice Salmonberry Preserve. ~ Favorite Recipes honors the fortieth anniversary of its congregation's founding for Saint Matthew's Episcopal was one of three churches organized in 1904 alongside First Presbyterian and the Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception in the wake of the great Fairbanks Gold Rush of 1902. Episcopalians claim a sort of precedence owing to reports of a service held by visitors from Circle a mining town northeast of Fairbanks in 1903 in the Fairbanks Saloon. Another assertion of priority concerns St. Matthew's Hospital - built of logs like the Church on land adjacent - which administered perhaps also as early as 1904 to prospectors and trappers old-timers and chechacos of every nationality encountered on the trails among them Canadians Finns Russians Italians Norwegians Australians and others as recorded by a witness one Deaconess Clara Carter in The Alaska Churchman no. 1 June 1906. A source of pride was a small church belfry holding a bell cast in Troy New York in 1905 and inscribed with words of the first local bishop: "O ye Frost and Cold bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him forever." Members of Saint Matthew's also started the first lending library in a room at the rear of the church initiated the first kindergarten and organized the first troop of Boy Scouts in Fairbanks. ~ Shortly after publication of Favorite Recipes in 1947 the log church burned but the altar communion rail lectern - carved from Alaskan birch - as well as the 1905 bell were saved eventually to be installed in a new woodframe structure dedicated on Christmas Eve 1948. The congregation celebrated its centenary in 2004 and flourishes still. ~ Three-hole punched and plastic-ring bound with original beige cover illustrated in a style reminiscent of Jugendstil woodcuts; lightly soiled front loosened from rings as are several leaves. Still good or a bit better. Scarce. OCLC locates two copies; in neither Brown nor Cagle. [The Church; Printed by Tanana Publishing(?)] unknown books

1900177155Early 1900s or slightly later. An evocative group of photographs depicting daily life and seasonal migration among the Iñupiat people. The images are taken around time of the Nome Gold Rush 1899 to 1908 a period that brought a massive influx of prospectors and drastically altered the region's demographics. Nome gained worldwide attention during the gold rush and in its aftermath the Iñupiat people underwent profound cultural and environmental shifts. Increased contact with outsiders the rise of wage labour and the introduction of Western goods by miners missionaries and teachers led to a transition from a semi-nomadic lifestyle to life in permanent villages. After the boom ended Nome's population sharply declined falling from an estimated 20000 in the early 1900s to fewer than 1500 by the 1930s. The photographer George R. King 1866-1951 was widely published with his work appearing in Sierra Club publications and in National Geographic including the 1919 feature Eskimo Life. Despite his visibility little is known about his career. Mautz lists him simply as a photographer from Boston who recorded claims on the Seward Peninsula in 1907 p. 47. King's photographs together with those of Frank H. Nowell the Lomen Brothers and others provide an important visual record during a period of rapid change. One of the images was published in The New America and the Far East 1907-10 with the photographer unidentified. Five gelatin silver prints from 182 x 234 to 197 x 248 mm all with pencillings on verso three with photographer's ink stamp on verso. Two a little yellowed a few small marginal chips tears or creasing minor surface abrasions: a very good collection. Carl Mautz Biographies of Western Photographers 2018. unknown

"A very interesting journal with sketch maps and drawings and photographs. Touches much country not before described and goats are discovered near Frances Lake ." - Phillips<br /> <br /> Streeter: Hunter's narration of his journey "to the Yukon in quest of Frances Lake" is taken from his diary. "Many things that I wrote in the field last summer read queerly today but that may be accounted for by the fact that here on Long Island I am neither tired hungry nor wet. These three things strangely influence the amateur explorer."<br /> <br /> The author thanks Charles Sheldon of Washington D.C. in the Apologia for giving him the idea to search for sheep at Frances Lake. Hunter retraced some of the 1887 explorations of George M.Dawson published in The Yukon Territory 1898 which collected acounts by Dall Dawson and Ogilvie. Streeter 3627; Phillips p. 190.
