EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the reverend Burgess making his way through a wintry Alaskan landscape, between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Dressed in a heavy coat and hat, the reverend stands resolute against the backdrop of a snow-covered road, flanked by leafless trees and a solitary trail leading into the distance. The image, likely taken between 1900 and 1927, offers a glimpse into the harsh yet beautiful conditions of rural Alaska during this era. The presence of the reverend, with his steadfast demeanor and unwavering faith, adds a sense of human connection to the desolate landscape. The image also hints at the role of transportation, such as railways, in connecting people to remote areas, even in the most challenging of weather conditions. This photograph, from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who braved the elements in the name of faith and community during this period in American history.
