Track 3 - J. J. Hollister, Sr. describes his experiences during the Nome Gold Rush, including a 700-mile dog sled journey across the Bering Sea, a steamer trip from Nome to Seattle, and a story about a jumped gold claim.

The interviewee uses language that could be interpreted as anti-Semitic and perpetuating a stereotype of a historically marginalized group. The presence of sensitive or offensive material in the J. J. Hollister Sr. interview is not endorsed or approved by Santa Barbara Historical Museum (SBHM). SBHM recognizes and regrets the culturally sensitive nature of this material. However, as indicated by the Society of American Archivists and the American Library Association, removing offensive material is, de facto, an alteration of the archival record and would constitute willfully destroying records to conceal facts or distort evidence. As such, the material in the archive remains as a historical record. SBHM is committed to transparency, reconciliation, and education.
