Biographical NoteReturn to Top

In 1888 Eric A. Hegg opened his first studio in Washington in Sehome, also known as New Whatcom, on Bellingham Bay. A year or two later he set up a second studio in Fairhaven, a growing logging and mining community. Hearing news of gold strikes in the Klondike River Valley, Yukon Territory, in September or October of 1897, he joined a party of Bellingham men who had chartered the Skagit Chief, an old sternwheeler, and travelled the inside passage as far as Dyea, Alaska. Arriving too late to get down the Yukon River to Dawson City before freeze-up, Hegg decided to remain on the coast until spring. Using his Dyea studio as a base, he frequently traveled up the Chilkoot Trail to photograph the huge migration to the Yukon known as "the Stampede." During the winter of 1897-1898, he moved his studio to Skagway, Alaska. He was soon joined by Per Larss, a fellow Scandinavian, and together they made frequent photographic excursions over the Chilkoot Pass, to Lake Lindeman and Bennett, selling their photographs on the trail. Hegg established a brief tent studio in the town of Bennett and on his departure from Bennett, turned the business over to Edward J. Hamacher, who later bacame a notable Whitehorse photographer.

The party of Larss and Hegg arrived in Dawson City on June 20, 1898, where they established a studio on the waterfront between First and Second Streets. Larss and Hegg joined in formal partnership in September 1898. Their studio, however, suffered severe loss when fire broke out in Dawson City in Oct. 1898. Later George Cantwell was taken on to assist with outside photographic work. In August of 1899, Hegg sold his interest in his Dawson City studio to Larss, who had entered into partnership with Joseph Duclos, and headed for Nome. Subsequently he published a souvenir booklet entitled "Alaska-Yukon Souvenir" (1900). He left Nome in 1902. It is uncertain when Hegg finally left Alaska, but between the years 1905 and 1918, he worked in Juneau and later in Cordova where he signed on as company photographer during the construction of the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad for the Guggenheims. His firm specialized in art and commercial photography, Alaska souvenirs, postcards, and views. When Hegg finally left Alaska, he worked in Hawaii for a San Francisco newspaper for a year or so. He later returned to Bellingham and died in San Diego in December, 1947.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The images in the Hegg collection consist of photographs found in the 33 Hegg albums, contact prints made from the 442 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 glass negatives, and individual original Hegg photographs not from the initial Hegg donation. The Hegg albums are located in the Special Collections vault along with 3 boxes of original Hegg photographs (Boxes 10-12).

The photographs document gold rush localities and activities in the Klondike River Valley of Alaska and the Yukon Territory of Canada circa 1887-1903, including images of the White Pass Trail, the Chilkoot Trail, Dawson City, Nome, Skagway, steamboats, dogsledding, Alaska Natives, and more.

Other Descriptive InformationReturn to Top

Some of the original negatives have Webster & Stevens numbers and studio signatures, though they are original Hegg negatives. These negatives were aquired by Webster & Stevens in 1902 during Hegg's bitter divorce from his wife Ella (who operated the Skagway studio at the time). She sold many of his negatives and photographs to Webster & Stevens, who subsequently removed the Hegg studio imprint from the negatives and sold prints made from these negatives as products of their studio. These images are noted accordingly in the finding aid.

The station was established in 1892 by Sheldon Jackson, a Presbyterian minister and the Commissioner of Education in Alaska, and was named for Henry M. Teller, Secretary of the Interior. It was established as part of an effort, known as the Alaska Reindeer Service, to transport domestic reindeer from Siberia to Western Alaska in order to try to solve the Native Alaskans' food shortage problem. The goal of the Service was to train the indigenous peoples of Alaska, through an apprenticeship system, in the care for and use of domestic reindeer. Ultimately, the service hoped to establish the practice of herding among the indigenous peoples of Seward Peninsula on a self-supporting basis. Sheldon Jackson brought Sami herders from Norway to Alaska so they could teach apprentice Alaskan Natives various herding techniques. In turn, upon satisfactory termination of their apprenticeship, herders would be charged with their own herd of reindeer and expected to take on apprentices themselves, thus expanding the enterprise.

George Carmack posing for a photo, Yukon (Hegg 810)
George Carmack was originally credited with registering Discovery Claim at Bonanza Creek, Yukon. The site of the claim is widely considered to be the place where the Klondike Gold Rush started. While at the time many considered Carmack to be the one who discovered gold at Discovery Claim, today, historians usually give credit to Carmack's Canadian brother-in-law, Skookum Jim Mason. In the caption on the photo, Hegg mistakenly identifies Carmack as 'McCormick.'

Portrait of John Wallace ("Captain Jack") Crawford, Yukon (Hegg 137)
John Wallace ("Captain Jack") Crawford was an American adverturer, educator, author, poet, and entertainer. He was considered a master storyteller about the Wild West, and is known as one of the most popular performers in late nineteenth century America. In 1876, Crawford became a national celebrity after he rode 350 miles over the course of six days to carry dispatches to Fort Laramie for the New York Herald to tell the news of a victory by General George Crook against the village of Chief American Horse at the Battle of Slim Buttes during the Great Sioux War of 1876-1877. Later in life, Crawford spent two years in the Klondike (1898-1900) fruitlessly searching for gold.

Charles D. Lane conversing with another man, Alaska (Hegg 621)
Charles D. Lane was a millionaire mine owner, recognized as one of the founders of Nome, Alaska, who headed the Wild Goose Mining & Trading Co. and helped develop legitimate mining claims in Nome. In 1898, he missed an opportunity to be one of the initial disocoverers of gold near Nome when he briefly returned to California after setbacks with his mines and claims in Silver Bow Basin near Juneau, Alaska. However, Lane sent an associate named Gabe Price with a large party to investigate rumors of gold in Kotzebue County. Price was in the nearby town of Golovin when Lindeberg, Lindblom and Brynteson, the "Three Lucky Swedes," discovered gold at Anvil Creek near Nome in 1898, sparking the Nome Gold Rush. Though Price missed his chance to get Lane involved in early claim-staking, when he traveled to Nome to meet the three prospectors, he was impressed enough to commit Lane to help develop the new mines and defend them from claim jumping, which was initially a serious problem in Nome.Lane was directly involved in one of the most important legal battles in early Nome history against claim jumpers, paving the way for greater law and order in Nome. Lane took legal action against Alexander McKenzie and Alfred Noyes, a corrupt Judge of the Federal Court. McKenzie and Noyes essentially established a receivership racket and illegally mined others' claims. In order to do this, the two men would hire others to claim jump; when legitimate claim owners appeared in court to settle their disputes with claim jumpers, Noyes would put the claims into receiverships to be administered by McKenzie while Noyes considered the disputes. In the meantime, McKenzie, as reciever of the disputed claims, would then hire men to mine them. Charles Lane ultimately put an end to McKenzie and Noyes' sheme when he, as a legitimate claim owner, took his case to the circuit court of appeals in San Francisco, ultimately leading to the arrests of McKenzie and Noyes by US Marshals. Judge James Wickersham was then brought in from the Third Judicial District to settle the remaining cases and restore claims to their rightful owners.As head of the Wild Goose Mining & Trading Co., Lane established the Wild Goose Railroad, which ran from Nome through Anvil Gulch to Dexter, Alaska. The Wild Goose Company, at least in Nome's early days, was rivaled only by the Pioneer Mining Company.

Mary's Igloo was an Inupiat village that became an important transfer point for supplies for the gold fields upriver on the Kuzitrin and Kougarok Rivers. Non-natives named the village Mary's Igloo after an Inupiat woman named Mary who welcomed miners, trappers, and others into her home for coffee. By 1910, Mary's Igloo was a large community of Inupiat and Anglo-Americans.

Treadwell Mine was a gold mine on the southern side of Doulgas Island (across the Gastineau Channel from Juneau), owned and operated by John Treadwell. After prospectors Joseph 'Joe' Juneau and Richard Harris discovered gold in the Silver Bow Basin in 1880, waves of prospectors flooded the area. John Treadwell purchased a lode claim on Douglas Island from Pierre Joseph Erussard on September 13, 1881, thereafter establishing Treadwell Mine. Comprised of four sub-sites, in its time Treadwell Mine was the largest hard rock gold mine in the world. From 1881-1922, an excess of 3 million troy ounces of gold were extracted from the mine.

Grave of Frank H. Reid in Skagway, Alaska (Hegg 2064)
Hegg copy of original Case & Draper (photographer)
Frank H. Reid was an American solider, teacher, city engineer, vigilante, and one of the fatal combatants at the Shootout on Juneau Wharf on July 8, 1898, which resulted in the death of con artist and crime boss "Soapy" Smith. The shootout itself began after an argument and subsequent armed altercation on Juneau wharf between Smith and Reid, during which both men shot each other. Whereas Smith fatally wounded Reid with a shot to the abdomen and groin with his Winchester rifle (Reid died of his wounds 12 days later), despite wounding Smith, Reid did not fire the fatal shot that killed Smith. Jesse Murphy, after wrestling the Winchester rifle from Smith's hands, fatally shot Smith in the heart. Despite his reputation being far from untarnished, Reid's funeral was the largest in Skagway's history. His gravestone, pictured here, is inscribed: He gave his life for the honor of Skagway.
