Hartshorn, Florence M., 1869-1943. Florence M. Hartshorn scrapbook, 1919-1930.

Title: Florence M. Hartshorn scrapbook, 1919-1930.

The Florence M. Hartshorn scrapbooks are a compilation of material on Alaska. The first volume contains clippings of articles, letters, and photographs related to the erection of a monument dedicated to the pack horses of the Klondike Gold Rush who perished along the White Pass trail from 1897-1899. The idea for the monument was developed by Hartshorn. There are many letters written by Hartshorn to various municipal and charitable organizations requesting donations for the monument. There are also several letters from the curator of the Alaska Historical Museum in Juneau, A.P. Kashevaroff, and from the Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, C.D. Garfield, who seemed to play a larger role in the dedication of the monument. The letters range in date from 1928 to 1930. Photographs of the monument and of the dedication ceremony on August 24, 1929 at "Dead Horse Gulch" on White Pass, in which Hartshorn participated, are also in the scrapbook. The clippings of articles are dated 1928-1929; materials are not arranged in chronological order. A second scrapbook contains clippings of articles related to Alaska and the Arctic pasted into a copy of the Saturday Evening Post. Articles in the scrapbook are dated roughly from 1919 to 1930. They are arranged loosely in chronological order. Several of the articles in the beginning of the scrapbook detail the adventures of Arctic explorer, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, who claimed to have discovered the "blond Eskimos" of Victoria Island, Canada. There are also articles about Alaska news and human interest stories, as well as clippings about various Seattle lectures sponsored by the Alaska Yukon Pioneers. A third scrapbook, which contains clippings of articles related to Alaska pasted into a copy of the Woman's Home Companion journal contains articles detailing human interest stories from Alaska, as well as stories reminiscent of the Gold Rush era, including the annual Seattle Stampede, an event celebrating the start of the rush to the Klondike in 1897. All of the scrapbooks are fragile; two are unbound.
