A century ago, Treadwell, Alaska, was a featured stop on steamship cruises, a rich, up-to-date town that was the most prominent and proud in all Alaska. Its wealth, however, was founded on the remarkably productive gold mines on Douglas Island, and when those caved in and flooded in the early decades of the twentieth century, Treadwell sank into relative obscurity. Treadwell Gold presents first-person accounts from the sons and daughters of the miners, machinists, hoist operators, and superintendents who together dug and blasted the gold that made Treadwell rich. Alongside these stories are vintage photos that capture both the industrial vigor of the mines and the daily lives that made up Treadwell society. The book will fascinate anyone interested in Alaskan history or the romance of gold mining’s past.

THE BIRDMAN OF TREADWELL Through his diaries Edwin Warren takes you back in time over a hundred years ago as if in a time capsule. It is as if you are there by his side and can imagine you are in his place as he witnesses death and injury on all too many occasions in the world famous Treadwell gold mine on Douglas Island, Alaska. You will experience the daily routine working at the mine including a near riot, rescuing a little Indian boy from a near tragic fall, the Treadwell Ghost, the fear of working with an incompetent hoist operator who dropped the cage on several occasions including once with volatile explosives. Working as a powder man you will come close to death in a near collision with the ore train and the powder truck. You will experience what the accommodations were like at the beginning of the last century on the many different steam boats Edwin sailed on during his two adventures to Alaska.

Death of an Empire -- Collapse of the Treadwell Gold Mine: A Multimedia History Book is a collection of poetry, historical digital photographs, modern imagery, and digital videos depicting the once great gold mining empire in Juneau, Alaska. In this unique multimedia electronic publication, Kevin Lee McIver takes the reader through an intimate journey beginning with the infancy of the Treadwell Mine Complex in the 1880s through the April 1917 cave-in that nearly brought the end to what was the largest low-grade gold mine in the world. Using the collection of historical images, the past is revealed through glimpses into the infrastructure of this modern and comfortable mining town that included all the luxuries of the lower-48 states like a natatorium, a gymnasium, a bowling alley, and modern kitchen appliances like a mechanical potato peeling machine. Luxuries, if you will, that were seldom found elsewhere in Alaska during the end of the 19th Century. Faces of the past come alive through digital photographs of some of the 2,000 employees who worked the mine or supported their efforts before the 1917 cave-in that crippled the once great empire. Kevin Lee McIver then takes you along a journey through modern digital imagery that brings you to the site of the ruins that remain today -- and is reminiscent of ancient structures hidden beneath. Step into the past and experience the Treadwell Gold Mine Complex and its place in American history.
