‎ALASKA: PHOTOGRAPHY‎

‎The 1928 Alaska Tour Photograph Album.‎

‎Alaska: N.p. ca. 1928. Original photograph album measuring 9 x 5 1/4 inches and bearing 91 original silver gelatin prints of the 1928 Alaska Road Tour by Governor George A Parks the Alaska Road Commissioner Major Malcolm Elliott and Territorial Highway Engineer Robert J. Sommers. THe photographs measure 5 5/8 x 3 1/2 inches and all or nearly so bear a typewritten caption. Original string-tied flexible leather with gilt cover lettering and a photographic title plate. The photographs and the album are both in very good condition. This tour was undertaken by Parks Elliott and Sommers in 1928 to ascertain the need for more highways in Alaska and to discern the work already done on various existing routes such as the Richardson Highway. The trip of 2500 miles to northern and interior Alaska was the first extensive trip that an Alaskan governor had made by airplane. In 1928 there were less than 500 miles of paved roads in the entire state 363 on the Richardson Highway and 44 on the Steese Highway. On the front pastedown of the album is an itinerary photograph listing dates locations miles traveled and form of transportation. All in all they traveled 4580 miles of which 385 were by steamship 467 by rail 281 by railroad speeders automobiles adapted to ride on the rails 432 by truck and automobile 8 by wagon and 2007 by air. They drove a 1928 Ford when they were able photograph included. The largest amount of miles traveled was by air and their pilot was A. A. Bennett photographs included. They left Juneau on May 22 and returned June 28th. Their stops were as follows; Fairbanks Nenana McGrath Ophir Takotna Iditerad Unalakleet Golovin Nome Teller Candle Kotzebue Nulato Ruby Tanana Bettles Wiseman Fort Yukon Circle Hot Springs Livengood Fairbanks Chitina Kennicott. McCarthy Dan Creek Road Chitina and Cordova. Opposite this itinerary is a photograph of a map showing the routes taken. There are 91 original photographs of the sights seen by this group on their Alaska Tour of 1928. There does not seem to be any overriding theme other than transportation and the compiler has included many photographs of these he found interesting. A few examples would be "Bill and wife at their cabin on Ophir-Takotna Road. These people are mining placer gold"; "Freighting on Yukon Highway near Goldstream" ; "Tunnel at head of Fox Gulch tapping Chatanika River watershed for for dredges in Goldstream"; "Gold Dredge at Flat"; "Cabin on Nome-Shelton tram near Nome bridge"; "Gas-driven speeder on Nome-Shelton tram"; "The graveyard at Nulato"; "End of aviation field at Nulato" a panorama of two photographs joined and showing many indigenous people; "Fort Yukon Hotel"; "Alaska Road Commission house at Sallchaket"; "Cableway ferry i.e. a zipline for pedestrians between aviation field and village Golovin"; "Widening of Richardson Highway near Hogans--June 1928"; "Adams grader and caterpillar working between Fairbanks and 18-mile Roadhouse-June 19 1928" etc. Special attention is given to the various airfields as is appropriate as they traveled far by air of Alaska: Fairbanks Airport Nenana Landing Field Unalakleet aviation field Nulato aviation field. Wiseman aviation field Bettles aviation field etc. This album was a portrayal of a government survey of transportation in Alaska and thus there are almost no photographs of strictly natural phenomenon lakes glaciers etc. It is likely that Robert J. Sommers was the photographer as there are numerous photographs of Parks and Elliott but only one of Sommers. Plus included is a leather zip-up satchel with with the initials R. J. S. in gilt and within it are many assorted newspaper articles about Robert J. Sommers. Also included is a large 13 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches original hand-colored photograph of the Taku Glacier by E. Andrews a n original copy printed matted of the R. J. Sommers Construction Company showing a busy yard in 1944 a packet of personal photographs from R. J. Sommers an original photograph of Sitka an original hand-colored photograph entitled Lights O Juneau and a professional portrait photograph of Sommers."After Alaska achieved territorial status in 1912 the Territorial Legislature repealed the 1904 road tax law and replaced it with a flat four dollar tax imposed on taxpayers no matter where they lived in Alaska. By this time in 1913 the federally-operated Alaska Road Commission ARC had created 2167 miles of trail 617 miles of winter sled trail and 862 miles of wagon road. 0f this mileage the ARC considered the 419 miles of the Valdez to Fairbanks road its most important accomplishment. It was over this route in 1913 that the ARC sent an army truck on an experimental journey. The truck completed a 922-mile round trip including a side trip to Chitina between July 28 and August 19 averaging about 50 miles per day. During World War I federal appropriations for road-building in Alaska decreased. But advances in road-building equipment and automobiles made during the war benefited Alaska after the war. Motor vehicles saved about one-third of the cost of horse-drawn traffic per ton carried per mile. The average cost of moving a ton of freight one mile was 37 cents by bobsled on a winter sled road 50 cents by auto or truck and $1.37 by wagon in summer. By 1919 automobiles and trucks made up about 90 per cent of the traffic moving over Alaskan wagon roads. In 1920 the ARC was able to acquire war-surplus army trucks and tractors greatly improving its road-building and maintaining capabilities."Alaksa Humanities.Robert J. Sommers a civil engineer came to Alaska in 1900. Sommers served as superintendent of the Alaska Road Commission from 1915-1918 and both Survey General and Secretary of Alaska from 1919-1921. He later served as the first territorial highway engineer for the state. In 1931 he formed his own construction company R. J. Sommers Construction Company with former Governor Parks as his vice-president. In his oral history R.J. Sommers talks about working for a mining company in 1904 at Teller Alaska attending school at the Hails Engineering College construction of the steel bridge on Cushman Street working as superintendent of the Alaska Road Commission in 1918 the contract with Charlie Fisher to build the first building at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines in Fairbanks constructing buildings at the air base his involvement in the first ferry system from Haines to Juneau the ferry Chilkat buildings he has constructed in the Juneau area road work in Douglas construction of VHF stations for aircraft communications building airfields in Nome the Russian plane exchange building airfields at Moses Point Unalakleet and Galena problems with the construction of the Mendenhall Bridge Tom Riggs his appointment as the Mining Inspector for the Territory of Alaska appointment as Surveyor General being the first territorial highway engineer his association with George Parks his support of the Boy Scouts etc. Sommers Construction built the first building at the University of Alaska Juneau as well as many bridges and airfields around the state. He died in Santa Barbara in 1972The pilot A. A. Bennett was born in Oregon around 1888. Bennett was a pilot in San Diego before coming to Alaska in the mid-1920s. He is believed to be the first pilot to land on Kuskokwim River ice at Bethel. He flew for Fairbanks Airplane Company and later was the flying partner of Bennet-Rodenbaugh Company in Fairbanks there is a photo of his hangar herein. He brought legendary Joe Crosson to Alaska. Bennett left Alaska for Idaho and later lived in Las Vegas. He was inducted into the Alaska Aviation Museum Hall of Fame in 2012.George Alexander Parks was an American engineer who worked in Alaska Territory for most of his career. Following an unexpected nomination from President Calvin Coolidge he became the territory's first resident governor. Transportation was a major issue for the territory during the Parks administration. To offset running deficits and reduced federal subsidies rates for the Alaska Railroad were raised and a toll was implemented on the Richardson Highway. One area that saw an improvement however was air travel. In 1925 funds for landing fields was authorized by the territorial legislature. Two years later subsidized air travel between the Alaska Railroad and Seward Peninsula was initiated. Parks became an avid enthusiast of air travel using it to inspect much of the territory in May and June 1928.Of Major Malcolm Elliott not much is known other than that he held a military post and was the fifth President of the Alaska Road Commission 1927-1932 N.p. hardcover‎
