EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between approximately 1900 and 1923, showcases the Road Commission camp near Copper Center in Alaska. Nestled amidst the pristine wilderness of the Copper River basin in the United States, this camp represents the meeting of the frontier and the modern world. The image reveals a group of tents, arranged in a semi-circle, serving as temporary shelter for the road workers. Wooden structures, such as a cookhouse and storage sheds, are also visible in the background. Horses and their harnesses are scattered around the campsite, suggesting that transportation was primarily reliant on these animals. The surrounding landscape is a breathtaking blend of nature and human endeavor. Trees, with their vibrant autumn colors, tower over the camp, while the nearby river adds a sense of tranquility to the scene. The camp's proximity to the woods and water highlights the challenges and rewards of life in this remote region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of the early 20th century in Alaska. It encapsulates the spirit of the frontier, a time when the country was still largely undeveloped and the challenges of daily life were met with determination and resilience.
