Cookman Collection

September 1933

Image is of two men in center foreground, and partial views of two others at either side, working with hand tools. The two in the center appear to be excavating a large boulder. Several other large rocks are apparent nearby, possibly "erratics" left by the last glacier occupying the area or shed by a nearby mountain out of sight, and presumably in the way of new road construction. Both men wear head nets, indicating strong presence of mosquitoes. Spruce trees and brush form the low land middle ground beyond and a low, rounded hill is in background.

Near Eagle River, Alaska
