EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of intense activity as goods are loaded onto a traditional dog sledge at Fort St. Michael, located in Norton Gulf, Alaska, in 1871. The image offers a glimpse into the past of this historically significant trading post, which was established by the Russian-American Company in 1833. Fort St. Michael, also known as Michaelowski, played a crucial role in the fur trade between Russia and America. The fort was strategically situated at the mouth of the Copper River, making it an ideal location for trading with Native Alaskan tribes and European explorers. The photograph shows a team of strong and determined dogs harnessed to the sledge, their eager eyes fixed on their handlers. The men, dressed in heavy furs and woolen garments, work in unison to secure the goods onto the sledge. The items being transported include barrels, crates, and bundles, likely containing valuable furs, supplies, and other trade goods. The rugged terrain and harsh climate of Norton Gulf are evident in the background, with snow-capped mountains and a barren landscape stretching out in the distance. The image underscores the challenging conditions that traders and explorers faced during this time, as they braved the elements to establish and maintain trade relationships. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Fort St. Michael and the role it played in the development of trade between Russia and America. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the resilience and determination of those who lived and worked in this remote and beautiful corner of the world.
