Featured in this lot is this Wyatt Earp: Nome, Alaska camp photograph and photo-postcard circa 1890's; Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. There is one photograph and one photo-postcard in this collection. The first is a photograph attributed to a camp Wyatt and Sadie Earp would have used on their trip to Nome, Alaska from Rampart, Alaska. The back of the photograph is handwritten as follows: Nome. Wyatt's Camp; the photograph is in almost perfect likeness to a photograph of Wyatt and Klum in Alaska. The second is a photo-postcard from Nome Alaska of a penned group of horses and is handwritten on the back as follows: Nomne, Alaska. While in Yuma, Wyatt heard of the gold rush in the Alaska Yukon. On August 5, 1897, Wyatt and Sadie left for San Francisco. Earp was reported to have secured the backing of a syndicate of sporting men to open a gambling house there. The Earps spent the winter in Wrangell before setting out in the spring for Dawson on board the Governor Pingree via the Yukon River. By the time they reached Rampart on the Yukon River, freeze-up had set in. The Earps rented a cabin from Rex Beach for $100 a month and spent the winter of 1898–1899 there. In 1898 they got as far as Rampart before the Yukon River froze in place for the winter. Rampart was a friendly place, but far from the real action. They left with the spring thaw and headed for St. Michael, on the Norton Sound, a major gateway to the Alaskan interior via the Yukon River. Wyatt managed a small store during the spring of 1899, selling beer and cigars for the Alaska Commercial Company. Wyatt's friend Tex Rickard sent him a number of letters belittling Wyatt's steady but small income in St. Michael as "chickenfeed" and persuaded him to relocate to Nome. The condition of this pair of photograph and photo-postcards is well preserved with no obvious signs of damage and shows a well preserved overall condition. The measurements of this pair items is 5 3/8" x 3 3/8" for the photo-postcard and 4 3/8" x 5 3/8" for the photograph. E118
