Title
Main Street , Sheep Camp , Alaska
Description
Title taken from caption . 9210 -- (15) In this view we are offered a more comprehensive idea of that section of the canyon in which Sheep Camp was located . Every portion of available space is occupied by tents , stores , restaurants , warehouses and caches . In the foreground a dog is struggling up the slope while the driver assists in tugging at the load . In the rear follow in single file a line of weary men bearing their heavy packs . There is nothing here to indicate permanency or comfort , but on the contrary , everything suggests a temporary abiding place and an earnest , persevering endeavor to reach some coveted goal beyond. "John P . Clum , U.S.P.O . Inspector and Lecturer. "Copyright , 1900 , by B . L . Singley .
