EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Children from Holy Cross Mission,' dates back to the early 1900s to 1916. The image, of unknown origin, depicts a group of boys clad in various layers of clothing, huddled together outside the walls of a mission building. The mission, identified by the distinct architecture and cross atop its roof, is situated along the banks of a tranquil river, likely the Yukon. The children, with their curious expressions and simple attire, exude a sense of innocence and wonder. Their clothing, a mix of practicality and fashion, reflects the transitional period between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The boys' outfits consist of long-sleeved shirts, pants, and boots, suitable for the colder climate of the Yukon region in North America. The mission, a beacon of Christianity and community, stands as a testament to the resilience and perseverance of those who sought refuge and solace in its walls. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of these children, who, despite their humble circumstances, are full of life and hope. The photograph, now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of the United States and its people. The image's timeless quality and evocative storytelling continue to captivate viewers, making it a cherished piece of American history.
