About This Image

Size refers to size of each photograph. Situated on the south side of Douglas Island, directly across the Gastineau Channel from downtown Juneau, the mine was founded by Canadian gold miner, John Treadwell in 1881, and was the largest gold mine in the world with 2,000 employees. A caption in ink on the verso reads, " Amerika U. S. Juneau in Alaska". The U.S. bought much of what is now Alaska from Russia in 1867. It was later organized as a territory on May 11, 1912 and admitted as the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.

Most U.S. domestic Fed Ex ground shipping (Media Mail for books) is free of charge except for larger and heavier items, or unless the buyer wants express shipping (email us your requests for the latter). International shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania buyers must pay appropriate local sales tax. International clients are responsible for their local customs duties and taxes, which will be charged by Fed Ex, which will contact the client prior to delivery.
