Title	Dr. Hudgin in front of a tent
Description	Title from caption. Photograph of Dr. Hudgin seated in front of a tent. Narrative in photo album reads : "At right: Dr. Hudgin, a medical doctor who 30 years before was told in the East he had only a few months to live on account of tuberculosis of the lungs. He hiked to the Pacific Coast, living out of doors, came to Alaska and was still hale and hearty. He used to take snow baths, getting up early in the morning and actually rolling naked in snow drifts. One morning his cabin locked itself and he nearly froze before he could awaken anyone & get back into it. He said he ate but 1 meal a day - but he always had nuts and things in his pockets."
