Hegg first travelled to the Klondike in 1897 as a journeyman photographer. He established a studio at Dyea during the gold rush and later moved to Skagway. In 1900, Hegg sold his business to his apprentice and departed for Nome. Early in the 20th century, Hegg worked as company photographer for the Copper River and Northwester Railroad, documenting its construction until 1918. A few images have had postcards mounted on top. Some minor soiling and fading to some images. Final image has split at lower left. Album covers show wear. Overall Fine.
