    1 Statement of Herbert Frost, Associate Director

    STATEMENT OF HERBERT FROST, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, NATURAL RESOURCES STEWARDSHIP AND SCIENCE, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON NATIONAL PARKS OF THE SENATE ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE, CONCERNING S. 1897, A BILL TO REVISE THE BOUNDARIES OF GETTYSBURG NATIONAL MILITARY PARK TO INCLUDE THE GETTYSBURG TRAIN STATION, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. June 27, 2012 Mr. Chairman, members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to present the views of the Department of the Interior on S. 1897, a bill to add the historic Lincoln Train Station in the Borough of Gettysburg and 45 acres at the base of Big Round Top to Gettysburg National Military Park in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Department supports enactment of this legislation with a technical amendment. Gettysburg National Military Park protects major portions of the site of the largest battle waged during this nation's Civil War. Fought in the first three days of July 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg resulted in a victory for Union forces and successfully ended the second invasion of the North by Confederate forces commanded by General Robert E. Lee. Historians have referred to the battle as a major turning point in the war - the "High Water Mark of the Confederacy." It was also the Civil War's bloodiest single battle, resulting in over 51,000 soldiers killed, wounded, captured or missing. The Soldiers' National Cemetery within the park was dedicated on November 19, 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln delivered his immortal Gettysburg Address. The cemetery contains more than 7,000 interments including over 3,500 from the Civil War.

    Highlights for Fiscal Year 2013: Denali National Park

    Highlights for FY 2013 Denali National Park and Preserve (* indicates action items for A Call to Action or the park’s strategic plan) This year was one of changes and challenges, including from the weather. The changes started at the top, with the arrival of new Superintendent Don Striker in January 2013. He drove across the country to Alaska from New River Gorge National River in West Virginia, where he had been the superintendent for five years. He also served as superintendent of Mount Rushmore National Memorial (South Dakota) and Fort Clatsop National Memorial (Oregon) and as special assistant to the Comptroller of the National Park Service. Some of the challenges that will be on his plate – implementing the Vehicle Management Plan, re-bidding the main concession contract, and continuing to work on a variety of wildlife issues with the State of Alaska. Don meets Skeeter, one of the park’s sled dogs The park and its partners celebrated a significant milestone, the centennial of the first summit of Mt. McKinley, with several activities and events. On June 7, 1913, four men stood on the top of Mt. McKinley, or Denali as it was called by the native Koyukon Athabaskans, for the first time. By achieving the summit of the highest peak in North America, Walter Harper, Harry Karstens, Hudson Stuck, and Robert Tatum made history. Karstens would continue to have an association with the mountain and the land around it by becoming the first Superintendent of the fledgling Mt. McKinley National Park in 1921. *A speaker series featuring presentations by five Alaskan mountaineers and historians on significant Denali mountaineering expeditions, premiered on June 7thwith an illustrated talk on the 1913 Ascent of Mt.

    Unsolved Mystery of the Sinking of the SS Princess Sophia

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 21, 2020 Unsolved Mystery of the Sinking of the SS Princess Sophia The month of October is a reminder of the tragic sinking of the SS Princess Sophia on October 25, 1918 one hundred and two years ago. The Victoria-based ship transported passengers up the coast to Skagway, Alaska stopping at several coastal communities along the way. The shipwreck is the largest marine disaster along the northwest coast of North America and resulted in the unfortunate loss of everyone on board. David Leverton, Executive Director of the Maritime Museum of BC has had an active interest in the marine disaster for many years and has co-authored a book with Judy Thompson that looks at the shipwreck and the background of the known passengers and crew who were onboard at the time of the sinking.i Mr. Leverton stated that, "the 100th Anniversary commemorating this event helped to increase public awareness about the story and we still continue to learn more about the mystery of what happened including the story surrounding the fate of the lone dog that was known to have survived the disaster." 634 HUMBOLDT ST., VICTORIA, BC, V8W 1A4 | 250-385-4222 | mmbc.bc.ca Several months after the tragic sinking, The Alaska Daily Empire on Thursday, March 6, 1919, reported that a small dog had been found two days after the shipwreck covered in oil in Tee Harbor which is about 20 miles away and that it had been living at the nearby Auk Bay Cannery. On March 14, 1919, The Alaska Daily Empire reported that the dog had been positively identified as a thoroughbred English Setter belonging to Captain James Alexander and his wife Louisa.

    PRINCESS SOPHIA: UNOFFICIAL PASSENGER LIST (Name Count - 461)

    PRINCESS SOPHIA: UNOFFICIAL PASSENGER LIST (Name count - 461) Compiled by Captain Warren Good of www.alaskashipwreck.com. Names and particulars come from the following publications: • Daily Alaska Dispatch of Saturday October 26, 1918 (AD26 -279 names) • San Francisco Chronicle of Sunday, October 27, 1918 (SFC27-282 names) • San Francisco Chronicle October 28, 1918 (SFC28 - 60 names) • Winnipeg Evening Tribune of Monday, October 28, 1918 (WET28 - 334 names) • Seattle Times October 29, 1918 (ST29 -76 names) • Daily Alaska Dispatch October 29, 1918 (AD29 -151 names) • Soldiers’ World of Vancouver, October 31, 1918 (VW31-49 names) • Daily Alaska Dispatch, May 25, 1919 (AD525-3 names) • Daily Alaska Dispatch, July 26, 1919 (AD726- 9 names) • Daily Alaska Dispatch, August 3, 1919 (AD803- 9 names) • Sinking of the Princess Sophia by Coates and Morrison (1991) (SPS-347 names) I have merged the lists from the above publications and combined entries where it seemed appropriate. For example Glystra, Zylstra, Cylestra, Sylestra and Zylestra are all listed as the same person Charles W.…-stra. He is listed as passenger number 461 with all the other spellings and the publications of origin abbreviated. (AD26) is an abbreviation for the Daily Alaska Dispatch for October 26, 1918. I used Zylstra because that is the name used when the body was identified. The original list of spellings was well over 1,000 entries. Most of the names that follow have multiple spellings from multiple sources. Many of the names in the following list are likely duplicate entries. The first two names are probably the same person. The same holds true for number 6 & 4 as well as 7 & 8.

Message from the President: ith the pandemic still forcing us to take extra precautions, this year’s Alaska Historical Society meeting will be “virtual” and our participation will be via Zoom technology. Rachel Mason, program chair, and her committee are making every effort to make the delivery of a full program Was seamless in delivery and as full in content as possible. I know we all feel a bit like the women in Downton Abbey who put the reality of change so clearly, “We really are living in a modern world”. Please see the draft program in this newsletter. There you will find a full slate of papers and panels on key issues and there will be the Society’s annual business meeting, awards presentations, and memorial session honoring our colleagues who died this last year. As the conference sessions were being finalized, news came that Dr. Beverly Beeton, invited to speak on women’s suffrage in Alaska, unexpectedly died. We are saddened by the news and are working on an alternative. In addition to the program information in this newsletter, I also direct your attention to the Advocacy Committee report and statement on monuments and statues. This committee has been extremely active promoting the advancement of history, preserving reasonable access to valuable records, and encouraging thoughtful recommendations on historical interpretation in public places.

According to family history, residents at Koyukuk Station chose three "deficient" women for the men.

Each dog ate a chum salmon a day, when they were available. She returned with Walter to Tanana, where she raised him in the Athabascan tradition and he spoke the Koyukon Athabascan language. Because Russian traders and later administrators generally ignored Alaska's Interior, Athabascan lifeways remained largely unchanged during the Russian era.
