| Descriptive Title | The boom days of Nome, Alaska |
| Notes | A busy street scene in Nome, Alaska. A dirt road filled with people riding horses, walking, or in horsedrawn wagons. On either side of the street are wooden sidewalks attached to wooden buildings. Multiple business signs are hanging from these wooden buildings, as well as American flags on poles. A young man in the right hand corner of the photograph is selling American flags. A harnessed team of dogs is pulling an unidentifiable object in the foreground. |
| Notes on Back | This is the boom days of Nome about 1900 probably-the first year 1899 it was so muddy a man could not cross a street without boots and was liable to lose them in the mud; photographer unknown |
