Return to: Fort Gibbon and the Village of Tanana - Even before the Klondike gold strike, Alaska's Interior was crawling with miners and traders who were drawn by gold and the opportunity to get rich.
A few of Fort Gibbon’s buildings faced the Yukon River. On the right was the WAMCATS administration building, barracks, and Army Signal Corps garden. The photograph was taken on July 8, 1908. Anchorage Museum of History and Art, Library and Archives.
