44_0 | 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 |
