Marshall Bradlee on 20 Nov 11An online University of Washington exhibit that examines the means by which the stampeders traveled north. Full of wonderful period images and quotes, such as "Seattle is all 'agog' with this gold fever...," from Eugene Semple.

Will Keuper on 20 Nov 11This is a pretty cool database Marshall. The entire exhibit is pretty in depth and shows pictures of people and places in many various circumstances. One thing in particular I like is the fact that the collection shows planned pictures of people during the Rush, while also showing pictures of people/events who don't know a picture is being taken-- I think this gives us a better idea of the time period in general. One thing I think this site lacks a little bit is more historical analysis, with that I believe this collection would be better suited to give a more easily understandable depiction of the time period. Overall though, a great site!
