EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the moment before a group of weary travelers bid farewell to the Hotel Royal Alexandra in Mayo, Yukon Territory, Canada, on October 11, 1919. The Hotel Royal Alexandra, owned by proprietor Oscar Letourneau, stands proudly in the background, its wooden facade adorned with intricate logwork and a welcoming sign. The scene is one of departure, as the individuals in the photograph prepare to leave the bustling mining town of Mayo, likely to return home or seek new opportunities elsewhere. The men, women, and children in the photograph are dressed in the practical clothing of the era, with sturdy boots, heavy coats, and hats. Some carry luggage, while others hold rifles or horses reigns. A wooden cart and a horse are visible in the foreground, adding to the sense of movement and transition. Mayo was a thriving silver mining town during the early 20th century, and the Hotel Royal Alexandra was a hub of activity for travelers and miners alike. The town was known for its rugged terrain, harsh winters, and remote location, making the warmth and hospitality of the hotel all the more valuable. As the group prepares to leave, they pause for one last photograph, preserving the memory of their time in Mayo and the friendships they forged there. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of life in a mining town, where people came and went in search of fortune and adventure. Today, the Hotel Royal Alexandra and the town of Mayo stand as testament to the rich history of the Yukon Territory and the resilient spirit of those who sought their fortune in its rugged wilderness.
