Webb, U.S. Navy, ca_ 1885, on Indian River bridge. (Fickett Collec- tion, University of Alaska Anchorage Archives) ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY OF SITKA NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK by Joan M. Antonson and William S. Hanable Prepared under contract by: PO Box 200608 IPH/JMA-Alaska Anchorage William S. Hanable/Joan M. Antonson, Alaska 99520 Principal Investigators 907-345-6734/276-1946 April 1987 Published by: Alaska Region National Park Service 2525 Gambell Street Anchorage, Alaska 99501 December 1987 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from LYRASIS Members and Sloan Foundation http://archive.org/details/administrativehiOOanto Preface In 1985 Sitka National Historical Park celebrated 75 years as a national monument and national park, an anniversary predating that of the National Park Service itself. Yet its history as a public park goes back even further to its designation by Presi- dent Benjamin Harrison in 1890. The government's foresight in preserving the historic site is manifest to anyone visiting this gem of green at the mouth of Indian River where a battle was fought and a land lost. The Tlingit Indians have always called this land home. In a pitched battle in 1804 they withdrew from the Sitka area, leaving it to the Russian fur-traders, who founded their New Archangel on the nearby point, now downtown Sitka. Later, the Tlingit returned to Sitka after agreements tacit and verbal, living some- what in harmony with the intruders, with occasional outbursts.
