Mrs. Minerva Hose, governess in Skagway, ca. 1900

In 1896, Tagish Indian Skookum Jim Mason and two other men made the first big gold strike on Rabbit (Bonanza) Creek, setting off the Klondike gold rush. Mason later employed Mrs. Minerva Hose to teach and take care of his daughter Daisy. Mrs. Hose was an early shopkeeper in Dyea, Alaska. This photo of Mrs. Minerva Hose was taken at the Hegg studio in Skagway sometime around 1900. She stands in front of a backdrop of ice and clouds, and a dog lies at her feet. Mrs. Hose is dressed completely in fur and leather, with embroidered gloves and beaded moccasins. *Subjects (LCTGM): Gold rushes; Governesses; Women--Clothing & dress *People: Hose, Minerva, Mrs
