Bread Day. Sourdough Rye.

[Jordan Davis 💚 @yorudan]

I was chatting with Dez tonight about ole "sourdoughs" from the gold rush, and how they kept their starters warm on their person, etc.

He told me about Luther M. Schinn, a lesser-known sourdough miner, who became famous in the small mining camps of the Yukon for his dedication to sourdough.

Schinn, like many others, relied on his sourdough starter not just for bread but for making flapjacks, biscuits, and even cakes. What sets him apart, though, was his quirky practice of naming his starter and treating it like a living companion.

Schinn’s starter, called “Bessie,” was known among his fellow miners for producing some of the best sourdough in the camp. He’d joke that if Bessie wasn’t fed and cared for, bad luck would follow.

This belief in the "luck" of a starter wasn't uncommon—many miners believed their sourdough was almost magical.

Schinn carried Bessie with him for over a decade, and she became a bit of a legend in the Yukon camps. Some claim that other miners would secretly try to steal a bit of Bessie’s starter to improve their own bread!

Though Schinn didn’t make it into the history books like Joe Juneau, his quirky bond with his starter and his reputation as the "sourdough keeper" created a small local legend that reflected the deep connection miners had with their sourdough cultures.
