Hudson Stuck (November 4, 1863 – October 10, 1920) was a British native who became an Episcopal
44_1
priest, social reformer and mountain climber in the United States. With Harry P. Karstens, he
44_2
co-led the first expedition to successfully climb Denali (Mount McKinley) in June 1913, via the
44_3
South Summit. He published five books about his years in Alaska. Two memoirs were issued in new
44_4
editions in 1988, including his account of the ascent of Denali.
44_5
Stuck was born in London and graduated from King's College London. He immigrated to the United
44_6
States in 1885 and lived there for the rest of his life. After working as a cowboy and teacher for
44_7
several years in Texas, he went to University of the South to study theology. After graduation, he
44_8
was ordained as an Episcopal priest. Moving to Alaska in 1904, he served as Archdeacon of the
44_9
Yukon, acting as a missionary for the church and a proponent of "muscular Christianity". He died of
44_10
pneumonia in Fort Yukon, Alaska.
44_11
Early life and education
44_12
Stuck was born in Paddington, London, England to James and Jane (Hudson) Stuck. He attended
44_13
Westbourne Park Public School and King's College London. Yearning for a bigger life, he immigrated
44_14
to Texas in 1885, where he worked as a cowboy near Junction City. He also taught in one-room
44_15
schools at Copperas Creek, San Angelo, and San Marcos.
44_16
In 1889 he enrolled to study theology at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. After
44_17
completing his studies, Stuck became an Episcopal priest in 1892. He first served a congregation in
44_18
Cuero, Texas for two years.
44_19
He was called to St. Matthew's Cathedral in Dallas in 1894. Two years later, he became dean. He
44_20
stressed progressive goals in his sermons and regularly published articles related to his causes.
44_21
There he founded a night school for millworkers, a home for indigent women, and St. Matthew's
44_22
Children's Home. In 1903 he gained passage in Texas of the first state law against child labor. He
44_23
regularly preached and wrote against lynching. It was at an all-time high in the South around the
44_24
turn of the century, which was also the period when state legislatures were passing legislation and
44_25
constitutions that disfranchised blacks and many poor whites.
44_26
Alaska mission
44_27
In 1904 Stuck moved to Alaska to serve with Missionary Bishop Peter Trimble Rowe. Under the title
44_28
Archdeacon of the Yukon and the Arctic, with a territory of 250,000 square miles, Stuck traveled
44_29
between the scattered parishes and missions by dogsled and boat as well as foot and snowshoe. In
44_30
his first year, Stuck established a church, mission and hospital at Fairbanks, the new boomtown
44_31
filling up with miners and associated hangers on. Some staff came from Klondike, where the gold
44_32
rush had ended. The small hospital treated epidemics of meningitis and typhoid fever, as well as
44_33
pneumonia common in the North.
44_34
In 1905, Rev. Charles E. Betticher, Jr joined Stuck in Alaska as a missionary. They founded
44_35
numerous missions in the Tanana Valley over the next decade: at Nenana (St. Mark's Mission and
44_36
Tortella School at Nenana, the school in 1907), St. Barnabas at Chena Native Village, St. Luke's at
44_37
Salcha, and St. Timothy's at Tanacross (near Tok, formerly known as the Tanana Crossing). All
44_38
served the Alaska Natives of the region. Tortella School was the only boarding school to serve
44_39
native children in the Interior of Alaska, and was supported by scholarships and offerings raised
44_40
by the Episcopal Church. Missionary Anne Cragg Farthing ran the school and was the primary teacher.
44_41
Her brother was bishop of Toronto, Ontario.
44_42
Five hundred miles up the Koyukuk River from its confluence with the Yukon, at its junction with
44_43
its tributary the Alatna River, in 1907 Stuck founded a mission he called Allakaket (Koyukon for
44_44
"at the mouth of the Alatna") but others called St. John's in the Woods for the several hundred
44_45
Indians here. For years Episcopal woman missionaries ran the remote station just above the Arctic
44_46
Circle, including Deaconess Clara M. Carter and Clara Heintz. (Other women missionaries later
44_47
included Harriet Bedell who, like Stuck, has been honored on the Episcopal liturgical calendar.)
44_48
The mission served both Koyukon and Iñupiat, who were settled on opposite sides of the river. The
44_49
latter had come up the Kobuk River from lower areas. Thus the missioners had two Native languages
44_50
to learn.
44_51
To reach the scattered populations of miners and other frontiersmen, Stuck started the Church
44_52
Periodical Club. Based in Fairbanks, it collected and distributed periodicals to all the missions
44_53
and to other settlements where Americans gathered. It did not have only church literature, and in
