Bond family photograph collection

Visual Materials

This collection contains photographs of Hiram G. Bond, his sons Marshall L. Bond and Louis W. Bond, and an album of 35 photographs of the Bond family residence "New Park," in Santa Clara, California, approximately 1896-1906. There are four loose photographs of Louis Bond in Goldfield, Nevada; Louis and Marshall Bond; and Hiram G. Bond in portraits alone and with grandchildren, 1906. Images from the Klondike gold rush depict the Bond brothers, their dog Jack, and three other men outside their cabin in Dawson City, Yukon, 1898. There are no photographs of Jack London in this collection. There are also copies of a few commercial photographs of miners in Alaska and the Klondike. The "New Park" album (disbound) contains mounted 8 x 10-inch views of the exterior and interior of the Bond residence in Santa Clara, which has a swimming pool, windmill, and vineyard. Hiram Bond appears in one photograph, with dogs, and another shows two small children, presumably his grandchildren. An unidentified woman (probably Laura Bond) is partially cut out of two photographs.
