Sir: I am in receipt of Senate resolution of the 17th ultimo— That the Secretary of the Interior be directed to transmit to the Senate the report of Dr. Sheldon Jackson upon “ the introduction of domestic reindeer into the District of Alaska for 1896.” In response thereto, I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy of the report indicated in the foregoing resolution. Very respectfully, David R. Francis, Secretary. The President of the Senate. 9 INTRODUCTION OF DOMESTIC REINDEER INTO ALASKA. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Alaska Division, Washington, D. C., December 31, 1896. Sir : I have the honor to submit herewith my sixth annual report of “ The introduction of domestic reindeer into Alaska.” STATION. During the year a comfortable log schoolhouse 22 by 32 feet, together with a woodhouse and bell tower for the same, has been erected for the use of the children of the employees at the station. The building has attracted considerable attention from its neat and comfortable appearance. The main headquarters building was enlarged with an addition 24 by 40 feet, built in connection with it. This addition gives accommodation for a storeroom, and also for the herders’ families who may be sojourning temporarily at the station. It furnishes accommodations for keeping seal meat, oil, blubber, dried and frozen fish; also a carpenter’s bench, with facilities for manu¬ facturing sleds and snowshoes. In the attic is furnished much needed room for storing sails, boat oars, and fishing nets. In addition to the buildings erected at the station, huts made of plank and driftwood, covered with sod and dirt, were erected at sev¬ eral convenient points for the accommodation of the herders passing between the herd and the main station in winter. During the severe storms of last winter these huts were found of very great value, and probably in some instances saved lives. Similar huts were also erected at the winter camp for the use of the herders. PERSONNEL. After a sea voyage of thirty-seven days, Mr. J. C. Widstead, who had been appointed assistant superintendent of the station, reached Port Clarence July 12 on the brig W. H. Meyer. Two days later, the supplies for the station being safely landed, a southerly wind spring¬ ing up so increased in violence that the vessel was driven ashore from her anchorage and became a total wreck. With the wrecking of the vessel were lost the supplies of the schools at Bering Straits and also Point Barrow, together with the personal effects of the Rev. Thomas 11 12 INTRODUCTION OF DOMESTIC REINDEER INTO ALASKA. Hanna and family, who wrere en route to their station at Cape Prince of Wales. Owing to some misunderstanding and friction which arose over the sale of the wrecked vessel, Mr. William A. Kjellmann sent his resig¬ nation to Mr. William Hamilton, who represented the Bureau. As there was nothing else to be done, the resignation was accepted, and on July 20 Mr. J, C. Widstead was appointed superintendent, with Mr. Thorwald Kjellmann as assistant superintendent. Mr. Widstead had been selected for a subordinate position, but in the absence of any other more suitable person in that region he was necessarily given the first place upon the resignation of Mr. Kjellmann. His adminis¬ tration during the past year was not a success, and upon my arrival at the station, July 28, 1896, I removed him and reappointed Mr. William A. Kjellmann superintendent and Albert N. Kittilsen, M. D., assistant superintendent, these gentlemen having been sent up from the States this season for service at the station. During last year some dissatisfaction was expressed by the Lapps that there was no physician within reach for their families. This want has been supplied by the appointment of Dr. Kittilsen as assist¬ ant superintendent of the station. The seven families of Lapps have remained with the herd, performing their usual duties with efficiency and success. The experience of the past two years has demonstrated the wisdom of their importation as instructors to the Eskimos in the care and management of deer. Their success has been so marked that hereafter, whenever a herd is loaned to a mission station, an experienced Lapp will be sent with the herd to take charge of and instruct the apprentices. Under the tuition and direction of the experienced and skilled Lapps were ten Eskimo apprentices from different villages extending all the way from Point Hope on the Arctic shore southward and east¬ ward to Fort Adams on the Upper Yukon River, a distance of 2,000 miles. These apprentices have made fair progress in mastering the science of managing and breeding reindeer. In January Moses, Tatpan, Martin, and Okweetkoon were trans¬ ferred from the Teller Reindeer Station to the new station established on Golovin Bay, they having come originally from that general region of country. During the fall Oozhaloo, one of the most prominent natives at Point Barrow, with his family, was transported to the Teller Reindeer Station at his own request and accepted as an apprentice. It is hoped that ultimately he will be able to go back in charge of a herd to that distant and desolate northern section. HERDS. There are now five herds in Alaska, one at Cape Prince of Wales, a mission station of the Congregational Church, numbering 253; one at INTRODUCTION OF DOMESTIC REINDEER INTO ALASKA.

  • Assessment of Alaska Reindeer Populations and Range Conditions
    Paper presented at The First Arctic Ungulate Conference, Nuuk, Greenland, 3-8. September, 1991. Assessment of Alaska reindeer populations and range conditions J. D. Swanson1 and M. H. W. Barker2 1 USDA Soil Conservation Service, 201 E. 9th Avenue, Suite 300, Anchorage, Alaska 99501, U.S.A. 2 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alaska Anchorage, Alaska 99508, U.S.A. Abstract: Populations of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) have fluctated greatly since their introduction to Alaska in 1891. In the 1930s, reported numbers exceeded 600,000. Presently, 38,000 reindeer graze 6.2 million ha of rangeland and woodland in Western Alaska (from 66°54'N to 52°07'N latitude). Condition of winter range producing fruticose lichens (Cladina rangiferina, Cladina arbuscula, Cladina stellaris, Cetraria cucullata, Cetra- ria islandica) is of major concern. Monitoring programs have been established for vegetation, fire, reindeer and wildlife. Reindeer have overgrazed lichen resources on some Bering Sea Islands. Wildfires have had the greatest impact on lichen range depletion on the mainland. Overgrazing has been a problem in localized areas. Moose (AIces alces) and muskox (Ovibos moschatus) rarely contribute to major lichen depletion. 60-80% of the mainland and 5-30% of most island winter lichen ranges are presently estimated to be in good to excel• lent ecological condition. Procedures for assessing condition of the lichen ranges are being further refined. Keywords: Alaska, winter, pastures, lichens, population dynamics, sampling techniques Rangifer, 12 (1): 33-43 Introduction Siberian reindeer herders were originally Sheldon Jackson, General Agent of Education brought to instruct local natives in reindeer in Alaska, toured the northern coasts of Siberia husbandry and herding techniques (Brickey, and Alaska in 1890.

  • An Investigation Into British Neutrality During the American Civil War 1861-65
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO BRITISH NEUTRALITY DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 1861-65 BY REBECCA CHRISTINE ROBERTS-GAWEN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MA by Research Department of History University of Birmingham November 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis sought to investigate why the British retained their policy of neutrality throughout the American Civil War, 1861-65, and whether the lack of intervention suggested British apathy towards the conflict. It discovered that British intervention was possible in a number of instances, such as the Trent Affair of 1861, but deliberately obstructed Federal diplomacy, such as the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. This thesis suggests that the British public lacked substantial and sustained support for intervention. Some studies have suggested that the Union Blockade of Southern ports may have tempted British intervention. This thesis demonstrates how the British sought and implemented replacement cotton to support the British textile industry. This study also demonstrates that, by the outbreak of the Civil War, British society lacked substantial support for foreign abolitionists’’ campaigns, thus making American slavery a poorly supported reason for intervention.
