About this file
This is a design pre-production document for museum exhibit graphics created by Split Rock Studios for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The project, designated 3087 TOK APLIC, involves development of interpretive panels and graphics focused on Eagle, Alaska's history during the Klondike Gold Rush and the role of telegraph communications.
The deliverables include five primary exhibit components: Panel F.1.a (Eagle Topic Panel, 64"w x 46"h) featuring the history of Fort Egbert and Eagle's transformation into a boomtown on the Yukon River during the 1890s gold rush; Panel F.1.b (Telegraph Topic Panel, 21"w x 46"h) describing the Washington-Alaska Military Communication and Telegraph (WAMCAT) network and its role in connecting the Interior; Tabletop Graphic F.2 (Telegraph Tabletop Graphic, 62"w x 30"h) showcasing historical telegrams and their content from the early 1900s; and Telegraph Graphics F.6 consisting of two components—a Telegraph Top Graphic (15"w x 10"h) displaying the International Morse Code and a Telegraph Bottom Graphic (15"w x 7"h) explaining telegraph operation mechanics. All graphics are scaled at 100% @ 12"=12" and designed by Nan Hildebrandt. Documentation dates range from September 2023 through April 2024, with final pre-production review dated April 11, 2024.

Eagle:
Boomtown on the Yukon In the late 1890s, the Klondike Gold Rush brought thousands of miners “stampeding” to the Yukon Territory in Canada. Their arrival transformed the small town of Eagle into one of Alaska’s most important cities.
Eagle sits on the banks of the Yukon River, just downstream of the Canadian border. That made it a natural transportation hub.
Travelers, food, and equipment passed through on their way to the Klondike. Within months, the town’s population jumped from a few dozen to more than 1,700.
It became the first incorporated city in Alaska’s interior.
Eagle was booming!

Texting… 1900 Style The telegraph office at Fort Egbert was built for military communications. But other people could pay to send messages too. They used it to request money and supplies, coordinate travel, and share news with friends and family.
The Eagle Historical Society still has some of those original telegrams. They give us a glimpse of life along the Yukon in the early 1900s. What do these messages tell you about the people who sent them?

“Bank B.N.A. [British North America] Dawson.
Wire C. M. Johansen certification of cheques for twenty-five hundred dollars, let this be your authority to sign my name to draft, immediately.”
This message was sent by Grafton Burke, an Episcopal minister in Alaska. He ran a hospital at Fort Yukon, 225 miles (360 km) downriver from Eagle. It was the only hospital in the region that treated Alaska Natives.

These messages show a conversation between two brothers: Leonard in Eagle and Bernard in Dawson City. The details of their situation are unknown. Can you figure out what they’re discussing?
