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.

Iditarod National Historic Trail I Historic Overview — Robert King
Iditarod National Historic Trail i Historic Overview — Robert King Introduction: Today’s Iditarod Trail, a symbol of frontier travel and once an important artery of Alaska’s winter commerce, served a string of mining camps, trading posts, and other settlements founded between 1880 and 1920, during Alaska’s Gold Rush Era. Alaska’s gold rushes were an extension of the American mining frontier that dates from colonial America and moved west to California with the gold discovery there in 1848. In each new territory, gold strikes had caused a surge in population, the establishment of a territorial government, and the development of a transportation system linking the goldfields with the rest of the nation. Alaska, too, followed through these same general stages. With the increase in gold production particularly in the later 1890s and early 1900s, the non-Native population boomed from 430 people in 1880 to some 36,400 in 1910. In 1912, President Taft signed the act creating the Territory of Alaska. At that time, the region’s 1 Iditarod National Historic Trail: Historic Overview transportation systems included a mixture of steamship and steamboat lines, railroads, wagon roads, and various cross-country trail including ones designed principally for winter time dogsled travel. Of the latter, the longest ran from Seward to Nome, and came to be called the Iditarod Trail. The Iditarod Trail today: The Iditarod trail, first commonly referred to as the Seward to Nome trail, was developed starting in 1908 in response to gold rush era needs. While marked off by an official government survey, in many places it followed preexisting Native trails of the Tanaina and Ingalik Indians in the Interior of Alaska.

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.

Annual Mountaineering Summary: 2013
Annual Mountaineering Summary: 2013 Celebrating a Century of Mountaineering on Denali Greetings from the recently re-named Walter Harper Talkeetna Ranger Station. With the September 2013 passage of the "Denali National Park Improvement Act", S. 157, a multi-faceted piece of legislation sponsored by Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, Denali's mountaineering contact station is now designated the Walter Harper Talkeetna Ranger Station, honoring the achievements of Athabaskan native who was the first to set foot on the summit of Denali on June 7, 1913. Harper, a 20-year-old guide, dog musher, trapper/hunter raised in the Koyukuk region of Alaska, was an instrumen-tal member of the first ascent team which also included Hudson Stuck, Harry Karstens, and Robert Tatum. Tragically, Harper died in 1918 along with his bride during a honeymoon voyage to Seattle; their steamer SS Princess Sophia struck a reef and sank off the coast of Juneau in dangerous seas, killing all 343 passengers and crew. A century after his history-making achievement, Harper is immortalized in Denali National Park by the Harper Glacier that bears his name, and now at the park building that all mountaineers must visit before embarking on their Denali expeditions. The ranger station's new sign was installed in December 2013, and a small celebration is planned for spring 2014 to recognize the new designation. Stay tuned ... - South District Ranger John Leonard 2013 Quick Facts Denali recorded its most individual summits (783) in any one season. The summit success rate of 68% is the highest percentage since 1977. • US residents accounted for 60% of climbers (693).

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.

Few of these tangible remnants of the past have managed to survive the ravages of time, preserved in libraries and special collections. This thesis analyzes the over 22,000-item rare book collection of the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the largest collection of rare books in the State of Alaska and one of the largest polar regions collections in the world. Content, chronology, authorship, design, and relevance to northern and polar history were a few of the criteria used to evaluate the collection. Twenty items of particular value to the study of Alaskan history were selected and studied in depth.
