Here the focus falls on the horses themselves, shown being loaded for the trip north to the Klondike goldfields in Canada's Yukon Territory. The picture is an enlargement of a single frame from a motion picture by Thomas A. Edison, so it preserves a moment of moving footage rather than a posed still. The gold rush that began in 1896 drew tens of thousands of prospectors north, and many brought pack animals that faced hard conditions on the trails and mountain passes. The caption card gives no date, and its details are unverified, so the exact moment shown remains uncertain.
