ABSTRACT Precipitated by the rapid advance of Russian fur hunters across the Aleutian Islands, the Spanish government awoke from its two hundred-year complacent slumber to define and defend its northern border. In all, seven expeditions crossed 54°40’N in the years between 1774 and 1792. Though not obvious today, these voyages left a vestigial mark on the state’s topynomy along the Gulf of Alaska. From the town of Valdez to Bucareli Bay, these names are remains of a territorial rivalry in which the Spanish lost. Refusal to publish its findings, lack of private entrepreneurs, and the inability of Spain to assess Alaska for its inherent value all guaranteed that the only thing Spanish in the state would be a scattering of place names. However, the visitation and subsequent maneuvering to possess Alaska among the Russians, British, and English in this crucial period is a neglected yet fascinating area of Alaskan history.

Preface and Acknowledgments Before my arrival to Fairbanks in the summer o f 1997 I was completely unacquainted with Spanish activity in the Pacific Far North. As a child I would examine map upon map of different parts of the world, but never did the question of Spanish place names in Alaska enter my mind. With the Valdez oil tanker accident in 1989 I began to question why a town in Alaska would possess a Spanish name. I wondered, “Was it named after a gold miner with that last name?” Washington’s Juan de Fuca Strait was Spanish, that much I knew, but surely, no Spanish explorers could have possibly reached the high latitudes. Upon entering the University of Alaska I became aware of other Spanish- sounding place names, such as Malaspina Glacier, Cordova, Alaska, and Revillagigedo Island. There a professor suggested that I investigate this seeming mystery and possibly write my thesis on it. Due to my brief interest in the Russian Great Northern Expedition, I declined. However, after realizing that I was illiterate in Russian yet literate in Spanish, I changed my course to the south, namely to New Spain. A children’s book first introduced me to the adventures of Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, the pioneering explorer and brilliant mapmaker of the North Pacific Coast. I augmented my reading with secondary, and later primary sources. Luckily, the Rasmuson Library contained many of the explorers’ journals and maps. Midway through the Northern Studies program, I decided to alter my thesis. Not only would I chronicle the seven Alaskan expeditions, but I also would enumerate every Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Spanish place name in the entire state. Not only might this prove useful to me, but to future scholars as well. During the winter of 1998-99 Donald Orth’sDictionary o f Alaska Place Names became my pillow and place mat. This obscenely large book contains all Alaska place names, no matter the size. Page by page I perused the book looking for Spanish words. Then I stumbled upon the dilemma that not all Spanish place names in the state are linked directly to actual Spanish explorations. How could I account for locations in the Seward Peninsula? I therefore decided to separate all the Spanish names into three categories: 1) Place names given by Spanish explorers, 2) General Spanish Place Names, and 3) Obsolete Place Names. Certain general place names I omitted from my lists, namely El Dorado and Bonanza, due to their loose link to actual Spanish words and their frequency. Spanish exploration and its legacy to Alaska is an important aspect of Alaskan history that is denied or overlooked. Various scholars in the world have expounded upon Spanish activity in the North Pacific, but more often than not, they concentrate on the Nootka Sound Controversy and relegate the Alaskan explorations to nothing more than a chapter at most. I have not encountered any book that deals solely with Spanish exploration above 54°40’N, and for this reason I have written this thesis. I hope that my list, although not perfect, will benefit future University of Alaska students in their inquiries of Spanish activity in the Far North. I also have written this thesis to benefit Hispanic children who are either vaguely familiar with or completely unaware of Spanish activity in Alaska. With few Hispanic role models in America today, and those that do exist, not mentioned or neglected in the Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

All Alaskan children, regardless of race, should be aware, and in turn take pride, in the activities of colonial powers that vied for their state.

  • Juan De Fuca's Strait
    REVIEW ESSAY Navigating History’s Straits Barry Gough. Juan de Fuca’s Strait: Voyages in the Waterway of Forgotten Dreams. Madeira Park, BC: Harbour Publishing Co. Ltd., www.harbourpublishing.com, 2012. 288 pp., illustrations, maps, glossary, bibliography, notes, index. CDN/US $32.95, hardback; ISBN 978-1-55017-573-8. Much history has passed through the world’s straits: the Bosporus, Gibraltar, Molucca, Hormuz, Magellan, and here, Juan de Fuca’s strait, the Estrecho de Juan de Fuca. Straits are like the architect’s negative space, a portal through which significances pass, coloured by the land masses on their banks, and like negative space, the water can be more important than the nearby land. Such is the 13-mile-wide Strait of Juan de Fuca, located at 48° 23’ N to 48°36’ N, 124° 45’ W, portal to the Pacific and the Georgia Strait and Puget Sound. A pinnacle, de Fuca’s Pillar, off Cape Flattery marks the westerly entrance to the south, and to the north, the strait is bounded by Vancouver Island. Professor Barry Gough first wrote about the area in The Royal Navy in the Pacific Northwest, 1810-1914 in 1971, and now over forty years and many books later, he returns to the subject in Juan de Fuca’s Strait: Voyage in the Waterway of Forgotten Dreams. Strait is vintage Gough. Thoroughly ballasted in fact, it reads like a breeze. Before taking on Gough’s book, consider how it fits within the current art of writing history. A recent writer, Adam Gopnik, has observed that historians first treat races (dominant and subservient), then faces (the great and small), then places (wonders and the misbegotten).

  • Hornblower's Ships
    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

    CONSERVATION PRIORITIZATION OF PRINCE OF WALES ISLAND Identifying opportunities for private land conservation Prepared by the Southeast Alaska Land Trust With support from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast Alaska Coastal Conservation Program February 2013 Conservation prioritization of Prince of Wales Island Conservation prioritization of Prince of Wales Island IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIVATE LAND CONSERVATION INTRODUCTION The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded the Southeast Alaska Land Trust (SEAL Trust) a Coastal Grant in 2012. SEAL Trust requested this grant to fund a conservation priority analysis of private property on Prince of Wales Island. This report and an associated Geographic Information Systems (GIS) map are the products of that work. Driving SEAL Trust’s interest in conservation opportunities on Prince of Wales Island is its obligations as an in-lieu fee sponsor for Southeast Alaska, which makes it eligible to receive fees in-lieu of mitigation for wetland impacts. Under its instrument with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers1, SEAL Trust must give priority to project sites within the same 8-digit Hydrologic Unit (HUC) as the permitted impacts. In the past 10 years, SEAL Trust has received a number of in-lieu fees from wetlands impacted by development on Prince of Wales Island, which, along with its outer islands, is the 8-digit HUC #19010103 (see Map 1). SEAL Trust has no conservation holdings or potential projects on Prince of Wales Island. In an attempt to achieve its conservation goals and compliance with the geographic elements of the Instrument, SEAL Trust wanted to take a strategic approach to exploring preservation possibilities in the Prince of Wales HUC.

  • Historical Timeline for Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge
    Historical Timeline Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge Much of the refuge has been protected as a national wildlife refuge for over a century, and we recognize that refuge lands are the ancestral homelands of Alaska Native people. Development of sophisticated tools and the abundance of coastal and marine wildlife have made it possible for people to thrive here for thousands of years. So many facets of Alaska’s history happened on the lands and waters of the Alaska Maritime Refuge that the Refuge seems like a time-capsule story of the state and the conservation of island wildlife: • Pre 1800s – The first people come to the islands, the Russian voyages of discovery, the beginnings of the fur trade, first rats and fox introduced to islands, Steller sea cow goes extinct. • 1800s – Whaling, America buys Alaska, growth of the fox fur industry, beginnings of the refuge. • 1900 to 1945 – Wildlife Refuge System is born and more land put in the refuge, wildlife protection increases through treaties and legislation, World War II rolls over the refuge, rats and foxes spread to more islands. The Aleutian Islands WWII National Monument designation recognizes some of these significant events and places. • 1945 to the present – Cold War bases built on refuge, nuclear bombs on Amchitka, refuge expands and protections increase, Aleutian goose brought back from near extinction, marine mammals in trouble. Refuge History - Pre - 1800 A World without People Volcanoes push up from the sea. Ocean levels fluctuate. Animals arrive and adapt to dynamic marine conditions as they find niches along the forming continent’s miles of coastline.
