Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the timeless tradition of fishing in America's last frontier. The boy's beaming smile reflects his triumph over nature's challenges, while also highlighting the resilience and tenacity that define those who call Alaska home.
