Historical Photograph of a Man and Dogs on a Rail Cart Trip from Shelton to Nome, Alaska in 1912. This is Walter W. Johnson, a mining engineer and designer of gold and tin dredges, who traveled around the Seward Peninsula on the family "pupmobile" and on horseback. Johnson wrote on the back of his copy of the photo, "When it was time to coast, the dogs would jump aboard without command."
