Lucille Hunter's Story
Most stampeders descended the Yukon from its headwaters just across Chilkoot and White Passes. Lucille Hunter and her husband, however, had taken the Stikine River Route to Teslin Lake. Here many stampeders paused, just as at Lake Bennett, to build a boat and await the spring thaw to start their journey down the Teslin and Yukon rivers to Dawson. But, shortly after New Year's Day, 1898, Lucille and Charles, now with infant Teslin, courageously pressed on alone through the wilderness. They travelled more than 150 miles by dog team over the frozen rivers and through frigid temperatures, howling blizzards, and deep snow drifts. The undoubtedly exhausted family of three arrived in Dawson in February 1898. Exposure Time: 0.040 s (1/25)
