"Drake at Angoon" 6'x4' oil on canvas. NFS --“Drake at Angoon”, In 1579, in his quest for the Northwest Passage, Sir Francis Drake deceived European spies by making a false map of his extensive reach up the Northwest Coast, longitudinal reference numbers erased and replaced to indicate a more southern reach. It is held now that he had reached Kake, Chatham Strait and Angoon. In June 2001 the Juneau Empire reported: “Rumors that Drake had been in Alaska were fueled in the 1950s when a Southeast resident, a prospector whose name has not been revealed, discovered a heavy metal plate in a bay on Chatham Strait. The inscription on the plate indicated that Francis Drake herewith claimed possession of this land in the name of Queen Elizabeth. The prospector also discovered stones with pre-Columbian-like markings - possibly discharged ballast stones.” Here, the Tlingits are welcoming him with devil’s club tea and cocoa, served in this copper tea service engraved in a blend of Tlingit formline and Mayan glyph. This discovery leads me to surmise that the Tlingits had ventured further south than commonly believed. They have recorded venturing as far a Hawaii, but this tea set would have us believe that these sea travelers had contact with South American civilizations as well.

“Hard Scrabble Miners”- photograph collection of the Alaska Historical Library For the long dark winters, miners in the Yukon and Alaska passed the time as best they could. Gambling was popular in the towns, but on the trail and in their cabins, the bottom of a wooden crate was often removed and a makeshift scrabble board created. These rough and tumble miners were no sissies, and made the game extra challenging by limiting the use of vowels and adding extra high scoring consonants. A pocket dictionary was necessary to settle claims by “game jumpers”, as they came to be called. (Note the guns and axes kept near the table.) With scrabble game and dictionary $1,000.
