Harriman invited twenty-five scientists, writers and artists to join him on a 9000 mile exploration of the coast of Alaska. In the summer of 2001, a Smith College expedition, carrying a similar group of scientists, writers and artists, retraced Harriman’s route, exploring some of the issues Harriman faced, and some he couldn’t even imagine. The film chronicling these two expeditions presents a unique look at a century of change in Alaska.

A slightly different version of Chapter 4 will be published in “’Picture Man’: Shoki Kayamori and the Photography of Colonial Encounter in Alaska, 1912-1941,” College Literature: A Journal of Critical Literary Studies. Thank you to the editors and special edition editors of these journals. Many people have guided and supported me throughout my dissertation process, and I’m delighted to have the opportunity to recognize them. I am grateful to my committee, exemplary scholars who challenge me to deeply engage and critically think through my project. My advisors Erika Lee and Jigna Desai have been everything I could ask for and more, both phenomenal academics who motivate me to be a better scholar, teacher, parent, and community member. Erika is a formidable historian who has provided me with invaluable training, always asking the important “why?” of my research and project, especially my contributions to Asian American studies. Erika encourages me to “embrace my inner historian,” and I would like to state for the record that she inspires me time and time again to research and write important, compelling, and creative historical narratives.

  • Dall's Porpoise
    Dall’s Porpoise Phocoenoides dalli, commonly known as the Dall’s porpoise, is most easily recognized by its unique black and white markings similar to those of a killer whale/orca. It was named by the American naturalist William Healey Dall who was the first to collect a specimen. The Dall’s porpoise is capable of swimming in excess of 30 knots and is often seen riding along side the bows of boats. General description: The Dall’s porpoise is black with white markings. Most commonly the animal will be mostly black with large white sections on the sides, belly, on the edges of the flukes, and around the dorsal fin, though there are exceptions to this pattern. The Dall’s porpoise is born at an approximate size of 3ft. The average size of an adult is 6.4 ft and weighs approximately 300 lbs. The body is stocky and more powerful than other members of phocoenidae (porpoises). The head is small and lacks a distinct beak. The flippers are small, pointed, and located near the head. The dorsal fin is triangular in shape with a hooked tip. The mouth of the Dall’s porpoise is small and has a slight underbite. Food habits: Dall’s porpoises eat a wide variety of prey species. In some areas they eat squid, but in other areas they may feed on small schooling fishes such as capelin, lantern fish (Myctophids), and herring. They generally forage at night. Life history: Female Dall’s porpoises reach sexual maturity at between 3 and 6 years of age and males around 5 to 8 years, though there is little known about their mating habits.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XXV FIFTH MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF FRANK MICHLER CHAPMAN 1864-1945 BY WILLIAM KING GREGORY PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE AUTUMN MEETING, 1947 FRANK MICHLER CHAPMAN 1864-1945 BY WILLIAM KING GREGORY HEREDITY, ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURE Frank Michler Chapman was born in what is now West Engle- wood, New Jersey, on June 12, 1864. The family home was an ample country residence, with wide lawns, fine old trees and high formal gate posts. This home was set in the midst of a large and prosperous farm, in a region abounding in woods and ponds, orchards and wide fields. The region was then a veritable paradise for birds; it was also an ideal environment for a child who grew up to be a most eloquent apostle of the birds and a faunal naturalist of immense achievement. The home farm had been purchased from its Jersey Dutch owners in 1863. It was successfully run and developed under the general supervision of Frank's maternal grandfather, Chester Parkhurst. He was a retired physician whose ancestors came from Chelmsford, Essex, England. Our best sources of biographic material are Chapman's de- lightful Autobiography of a Bird Lover (1933), his Camps and Cruises of an Ornithologist (1908) and his array of books, monographs and special reports upon the birds and bird faunas of North and South America. Frank's mother, Mary Augusta (Parkhurst) Chapman was an ardent lover of flowers and a "born musician." "Always," he writes, "she had a garden and at times a small conservatory, and music was as much a part of our daily life as food." Her mother, Mary (Johnson) Parkhurst was also a "born musician." "It appears" (Autobiography) "that I have to thank .
