Alaskan Pioneers
| One of two images under the headline: "Alaskan Pioneers Start First Log Building, Clear Townsite." Original caption for the top photograph reads: "The Minnesota-Michigan-Wisconsin colony at Palmer, Alaska, faces a serious problem in getting settled before winter arrives and these pictures show that construction work is being rushed as fast as conditions make possible. Above, the Alaskan pioneers are shown starting the construction of the colony's first log building — an office for the construction division at the construction camp." Caption with negative reads: "Start of construction first log building of colony, to be an office for construction division. (Written - it's at construction camp, not townsite)." |
