California, Alaska & Canada, 1897. Handwritten Letter on French Exploration Co. Ltd. Letterhead inquiring about a trip to "the Klondyke" and Dawson City, Canada. The author, Leon Boillot, writes to an Agent of the Canadian Pacific Rail Road in Ashcroft, British Columbia, seeking information about travel during the winter months. Boillot asks a series of questions about the undertaking of this journey, such as the need for dogs or horses with sleds to carry the necessary provisions. Boillot also asks "are there stations or forts along the road, where we might get supplies, at least feed or fodder for dogs or horses?" Dawson City, officially the City of Dawson, is a town in the Canadian territory of Yukon. It is inseparably linked to the Klondike Gold Rush (1896-99). VF condition with very few signs of aging, pair of punch-out holes at top. Interesting piece.
