Historia biográfica
Abine G. Courtney, a Syracuse New York dentist, joined the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898. He was a member of a party of four, but only he and a man named Hazeltine arrived in Dawson City, Yukon. Apparently upon arrival in Dawson City, they split a twelve foot by twelve foot boat in half and never saw each other again. Mr. Courtney had $7 to his name. It appears he attempted gold mining by the Free Miners Certificates issued in his name. While in the north Courtney sent his iter in Syracuse his newspaper clippings of articles he wrote and she showed them to the local newspaper. After living in Dawson City for several months, he took the last boat out to Nome, Alaska in 1899 and returned to Syracuse to resume his profession as a dentist. George Courtney (his son) first visited the Yukon around 1980.
Historial de custodia
Material was collected by A.G. Courtney and preserved by his family. The Dawson City Museum acquired this material from George B. Courtney, son of A. G. Courtney. He brought textual papers, negatives, and photographs to the Dawson Museum in 1981 and additional photographs that corresponded to negatives held in the 1981 collection, were acquired by the museum in 1990.
