Description: In 1900 Luke Carpenter left his wife and infant son to take part in the Alaskan gold rush, but soon after his arrival was buried in a glacial avalanche. His burial was evidently so complete and so rapid that he survived in a state of suspended animation for 67 years. He was then thawed out and brought to the home of his now-elderly son, Edwin, who lives in Woodland Oaks, California. Though Luke was 101 years old he looked to be the same age of his 33-year-old grandson, Ken.
