" U.S. Revenue Cutter 'Rush' at Valdez, Alaska." Cataloguer's note: Named in honor of Richard Rush (1780 - 1859) who was a statesman and a diplomat, during the administrations of Adams and John Quincy Adams. The Revenue Cutter Richard Rush was built by Atlantic Iron Works at East Boston, Massachusetts and launched on
March 14, 1874. The Rush was built for service on the west coast. Her services included; assisting vessels in distress, searching for survivors of wrecked ships, enforcing fisheries laws and transported dignitaries as well as U.S. government records and properties. As such, the Rush made numerous voyages to and from Alaska between 1877 and 1912.
In February 1906 the U.S. Revenue Cutter sailed the Alaskan waters to convey the Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, with the Deputy U. S. Marshals, to Valdez, Alaska. Again from May 1909 to February 1910, she sailed along the Alaskan coastline touring Juneau, Kodiak, Valdez and Unalaska.
On September 30, 1912 she was decommissioned at Port Townsend and a year later on January 22 1913 she was sold to the Alaska Junk Company for $8.500.00.

| |  | 1905, main camp at head of Lakina River. | Camps; Tents; Caches; Log cabins; Racks (Supporting devices); | Title taken from donor's caption.
A cabin stands next to two tents. Behind them are trees and mountains; in front, possibly piles of fuelwood and a rack hung with skins or fish for drying.
"The unwritten law of the early day Alaskan prospectors guarded our cache. A year's work or men's lives might depend upon the pile of supplies by the side of the trail but it was never disturbed by the old timers. The doors of the prospector's camps were never locked. If we left camp for a few days or a week, food supplies were in plain sight on the shelves or hung from nails on the walls. If visitors came they used our food only in emergency and left word of their taking. That was the unwritten law. During my four years experience in Alaska I remember only one loss from theft. A wolverine carried away about 150 pounds of bacon in one night."

"This head was brought home and mounted. It hung on the wall in the living room of the Ahmeek home from 1920 except for a few summers at Keweenaw Golf Club. These sheep are now (November 1950) almost extinct except in Mt. McKinley National Park where about 640 are still living. This species is know as the Dahl sheep and differs from the Rocky Mountain Sheep."
