Eric A. Hegg (1867 - 1947) was a Swedish-American photographer famous for his portrayals of the life and people in Skagway, Bennett and Dawson during the Klondike Gold Rush 1897-1901. Hegg himself participated in prospecting expeditions with his brother and fellow Swedes while documenting the daily life and hardships of the gold diggers. The most iconic photograph taken by Eric Hegg is by the Chilkoot Pass where miners and prospectors are climbing the ice stairs upwards to the top and the awaiting Canada-US border. [Wikipedia]. In this book, Ethel Anderson Becker recalls her own memories as a five year old participant in the gold rush with her parents for this book. As a young woman, she discover Hegg's photographs and began a life long search for the lost glass negatives. By the early 60's she had accumulated over 4,000 negatives, now with the University of Washington archives.
