Desperate Journey Over White Pass Trail to Yukon
A correspondent recounts the brutal crossing of the White Pass to the Yukon headwaters, describing thousands of soaked, exhausted men and hundreds of dead horses. The perilous trek covered forty nine miles to the headwaters and thirty nine and a half miles back via Chilkoot, with miners carrying a year’s supply on their backs. The narrative foresees a future railroad and freight cable to ease the load, and notes the harsh conditions will soon yield to a harsher winter. The piece ends with an aside about paper purchase in Chicago.
