Esquimaux storehouses, Packwell Village, Alaska, 1890. 'Lord Lonsdale's Travels in Arctic North America. The enterprising and courageous performance of the Earl of Lonsdale in travelling northward during many months of the year 1888, from the Saskatchewan River of the Great Western Territory of Canada to the shores of the Arctic Ocean, and thence crossing Alaska westward to the North Pacific...has excited much attention. We are favoured by Lord Lonsdale with an exact account of his journeys...Few people, except some officers of the Hudson Bay Company and of the Alaska Fur Company, have made acquaintance with those desolate regions..."Outside the underground houses of the Esquimaux, in which they live all the year round, are rude log 'caches,' or storehouses, constructed about eight feet above the ground, to prevent the wolves getting at them, which are shown in the view of Packwell Village".' From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
