F. Lyle Lyman correspondence
Manuscripts
The letters relate the story of Lyman's trip from Illinois to Dawson, Yukon Territory. His first stops were in Seattle and Vancouver; he finally arrived in Skagway, Alaska on March 3rd, after which he and his friend made their way through the Chilkoot Pass to Dawson. Although Lyman did not do much mining, he does talk about the miners whom he met. He briefly mentions a scheme to make money, but never gives further details. His letters describe the difficulties of hiking through the snow and bad weather (although he found the Chilkoot Pass less dangerous than he had expected); an avalanche which killed several people; the other travelers he encountered; the dangers of rafting down the Whitehorse rapids; and the conditions of the mining towns of Dyea and Dawson. There is one letter to Lyman from his mother. The group also includes a cabinet photograph of F. Lyle Lyman and four newspaper clippings regarding gold mining in the Klondike.
