Taking a Government Load to Copper Center: A Snapshot of the Alaskan Frontier, c1900-1930 This evocative black-and-white photograph, titled "Taking a Government Load to Copper Center, between c1900 and c1930," by Phinney S. Hunt, offers a captivating glimpse into the harsh yet beautiful Alaskan frontier during the early 20th century. The image portrays a lone man, dressed in heavy winter clothing, standing next to his horse-drawn sled, which is loaded with various provisions and supplies. The man's direct gaze and stillness convey a sense of determination and resilience, as he prepares to embark on the long journey to deliver the cargo to Copper Center, located along the Copper River in Alaska. The photograph captures the meeting of the rugged frontier and the necessity for transportation, as the man and his horse navigate the snow-covered road, likely during the winter season. The horse, too, seems to understand the importance of the mission, as it stands calmly and obediently, ready to pull the heavy load. The image is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those living in the Alaskan wilderness during this era, and the critical role that horse-drawn transportation played in delivering essential supplies to remote communities. The photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical artifact that transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the harsh realities and the unyielding spirit of the Alaskan frontier.
