| Keywords: Lake Bennett, British Columbia, 1897 (LAROCHE 84).jpeg Photograph Creator Frank La Roche Caption on image Lake Bennett c1897 Lake Bennett This lake is nearly twenty-five and a half miles long and about half a mile wide for the first twelve miles but for the reamaining distance it varies from one to three miles in width When this photograph was taken the lake was very placid but it has the character of being dangerous in consequence of the high winds from the north which frequently prevail making the water very uninviting to small boats and preventing them from crossing This often times causes a very disagreeable and vexatious delay By the time the traveler has reached the spot his enthusiasm has probably risen to a pretty high pitch as the remainder of the journey to Dawson City is by water and it irritates him to encounter unexpected delays Frank La Roche En Route to the Klondike 1898 Klondike Gold Rush Subjects LCTGM Lakes--British Columbia; Tents--British Columbia; Mountains--British Columbia Subjects LCSH Lake Bennett B C depicted place Canada--British Columbia--Lake Bennett 1897 Institution University of Washington UWASH-LAROCHE-source accession number laroche 84 PD-old-auto-1923 1936 Information field Order Number LAR234 Bennett Lake Canada Tents Mountains of British Columbia British Columbia in the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush Black and white photographs | ||||
