This intriguing scrapbook carefully documents the aspiration of Carrie Mitchell 1890-1979 to travel as a missionary to Kodiak Alaska Territory during World War II where she served as housemother to McWhinnie cottage at the Kodiak Baptist Mission School & Orphanage from 1944-1946. In classical Alutiiq Athabascan and Inupiaq societies orphans were typically adopted into wealthy Indigenous Peoples families as laborers working in return for food clothing and shelter. Often mistreated this would occasionally result in violent revenge against the tribes by the orphans. After 1893 the Kodiak Baptist Mission established their school and cottage system to educate clothe and prepare the orphans or abandoned Alutiiq children for society. Unfortunately the Baptist Mission forbade the Indigenous Peoples spiritual rituals or Russian Orthodoxy -- the predominant religious beliefs of the Kodiak area peoples and forced them to convert to Baptist beliefs. In some cases the children were forcibly removed against the will of their parents and were not orphans to receive vocational instruction and religious training at the Mission. Jan. 25 1944 Alice Crimson Executive Secretary to the W.A.B.H.M.S. wrote to Carrie how she and her staff were wondering if she would be interested “in going to Alaska as Assistant to the missionary in one of our children’s homes. It is not a managing position. It is a position of helping to make a home by assuming a share of the cooking cleaning even the washing as well as the mending of clothes. . . .†Several letters included here pass back and forth discussing Carrie’s interview her need to stay available and not travel to Texas to visit her daughter application for applying for a pass with the Headquarters Alaskan Dept. Base Echelon including fingerprint card and travel instructions. Due to wartime shortages after approval Carrie Mitchell’s travel was delayed after April 1944 because sailing times to Kodiak were curtailed but she would finally reach Kodiak AK in mid-May 1944. The grueling position had been opened because Cecile Tucker who had been housemother to McWhinnie beginning in June 1941 had decided to leave. M. Tucker regularly took care of 12-17 Alutiiq children and before being assigned to Alaska had spent 17 years working the the Mono Indigenous Peoples in the Auberry CA Baptist Mission School. Two original letters from one of Carrie Mitchell’s Indigenous charges George Yosheda 1928-2003 at McWhinnie House writes to her after leaving McWhinnie to attend school in Wrangell AK and she notes on the outside of the envelope that he was “a little homesick I think.†In his second letter from 1945 he writes about how he “can play basketball. . . if I don’t have anything to do I usually go for a walk or play the guitar.†She writes on an ALS from Enid Myers that Enid “gave up the work in Sept. 1944. That left me alone with a houseful of children until the Chandlers came. The other staff members helped me as much as they could.†By March 1946 the workload had worn her down and she wanted to retire from the position. Alice crimson writes her again that “I am very happy that you are staying in Alaska until I can find someone who will go in your place. I realize that it is difficult work physically and I think you would be wise to come out when we can replace you.†Thank you cards notices theatre programmes and several clippings concerning the 1964 Earthquake and Tsunami which struck Alaska appear within the scrapbook.

19334914Seattle & Aboard S.S. Aleutian 1933. About very good. 31pp. total. A few staples and other metal fastenings. Light wear and toning. An interesting group of promotional and shipboard material produced for an Alaska cruise undertaken by members of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce in June 1933. Material present here includes two issues of the shipboard newspaper "Midnight Sun" daily itineraries authored by the captain of the S.S. Aleutian a series of three pre-cruise bulletins distributed by the "excursion committee" of the Seattle Chamber an extensive fact sheet about Alaska from the same and a promotional pamphlet for the 1933 Season of the Alaska Steamship Company under whose auspices the tour was occurring. The itineraries are quite detailed and cover the the northbound portion of the journey from Seattle to Seward. The newspapers are also very interesting and provide a complete passenger manifest as well as a mix of national news President Roosevelt signing the National Industrial Recovery Act e.g. and local interest baseball scores from the Pacific Coast League. Together these typescript documents provide a good deal of information concerning the cruise and form a cogent narrative of this "business-friendship tour" and of Alaska tourism during the Depression. unknown
