On verso of image: Lake Linderman Filed in Canada--British Columbia--Lindeman Lake

Most stampeders camped beside Lake Lindeman and Lake Bennett needed to build their own boats, having declined to drag a boat over White Pass Chilkoot Pass. The preferred wood cutting technique, known as "whipsawing," led to more than a few disagreements and fights. Logs placed on stands were sawed by one man standing on top of the log with one end of the saw and a second man standing below the log holding the other end. The work was so hard, that no matter which position he took, it was easy to for each man to believe that he was doing all the work.
