M.M. JustusKlondike PhotosI haven't been to the Yukon since I was fourteen, and so have no photographs of my own. Hegg photo linksThese are links to photos in the Eric Hegg collection at the University of Washington. Eric Hegg used glass plate photography to take hundreds of photos of the stampede, and his is one of the best visual records we have of that time and place. I modeled my photographer character on him, and these photos depict various locations in True Gold. Click on the links to see the photos.A snowy view of the approach to the Golden Staircase.
