Winter and Pond Photograph Collection [graphic], Lloyd Winter and E. Percy Pond, 1934. Alaska State Library. One album of 62 black-and-white photographs. Preface to the album reads: " 'THE TRAIL OF '98, thirty-six years ago, portrayed in rare and original photographs direct from life by Lloyd V. Winter and E.P. Pond, is still a path of wild charm singularly beautiful in its historical appeal. These striking pictures take you back at the almost forgotten beginning of a drama to which the future of Alaska is intimately linked. . . . . Winter and Pond photographs of that dimming period afford an easy means to recapture the lost mood of thirty-six years ago, a delightful way to reconstruct the first episode--THE TRAIL OF '98--which in the retrospect of 1934 appears more pregnant than at any time since those intrepid pioneers, nourished on the yeasty word ‘gold,' trekked into an untouched, primeval wilderness in quest of ‘pay streaks' that were still dreams. . . . The photographs of that feverish stampede to the new bonanza are a perfect exhibit of man's courage and perseverance reduced to its crudest terms. No search of detail here. Each picture is crammed with reality which reinforces every turn of the photographic record itself."
