Nome waterfront, Alaska, September 1899 |
||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
Gold was discovered near Nome in the summer of 1898. Prospectors rushed to stake claims and the city's population quickly ballooned to 10,000 people. In 1899, more gold was discovered on beaches near the town and spurred an even greater rush of visitors. By 1900, an estimated 1,000 people a day were arriving in Nome. Pillsbury took some of the first available photographs of the Nome. Following his departure, the winter conditions made it too difficult for others to reach the area.; Panorama Nome City water front, by Pillsbury + Cleveland, Sept. [remainder of caption cut off]; General Nome location provided. |
