Valdez sits on Port Valdez, an inlet at the head of Prince William Sound, and in the early 1900s it was the starting point of the overland trail to the Interior gold fields, which made it a busy supply town for prospectors. The caption card files this print under "Indians," suggesting that Alaska Native people may appear in the scene, though the record is unverified and its date of about 1903 is an estimate. Viewers should treat these details as provisional and look closely at the figures and streetscape for clues about who was there and what daily life looked like.
