Image is a view of the inside of a blacksmith shop in Valdez showing three men standing near the forge and anvil with racks of horseshoes and tools on the wall behind. The hand of a fourth man extends into the image at right holding an object they have apparently made. The man at left in the photo is Ed Duncklee who would later take up a homestead in the Matanuska Valley which he later sold back to the government for inclusion in the Matanuska Colony project at Palmer.
