Manuscripts
The Bulger family papers consist primarily of correspondence, photographs, newspaper clippings, and ephemera, mostly related to the Klondike gold rush. The correspondence contains mostly letters by John Bulger to his wife and children throughout his expedition in the Klondike and Alaska from 1898 to 1901, during which he mined for gold near camps in Dawson and Nome. These letters provide a descriptive account of his personal experiences with prospecting for gold and mining in camps such as Skagway, Tagish, Dawson, and Nome; they are also reflective of the living conditions and challenges many Klondikers typically faced as they roamed the country. Other letters in this collection are addressed to Olive A. Bulger from her daughter Winifred Bulger, and cousin Freedom Jackson of Beatrice, Nebraska, who make numerous references to sewing in a dressmaking shop. The letters written from Winifred Bulger to her mother Olive and sister Vallie in Iowa, express her thoughts, feelings, and encounters during the journey west, as well as her first impressions of life in California. Of note is a scrapbook containing portraits, photographs, and newspaper clippings. Most of these clippings come from The Summer in Colorado series, written by Mary P. Porteus of St. Louis, Missouri. Other materials in this collection include: one autograph album belonging to Olive A. Bulger; one book titled Gold Fields of the Klondike, containing pictures of regions commonly traversed by gold miners; two photographs of John Bulger during his stay in Dawson; one issue of the Klondike Nugget newspaper; and a Free Miner's Certificate and Grant for Placer Mining issued to John Bulger by the Canadian government.
