Biographical NoteReturn to Top

A.C. Warner was a staff photographer for the Northern Pacific Railway when he first came to Washington Territory. Born in Massachusetts in 1864, his youth had been spent in Minnesota where he studied photography and found the job that took him to the Far West in 1886. In Seattle, Warner soon formed a short-lived partnership with one Davis, working jointly to make and sell some fairly conventional views of Seattle, the ships on Elliott Bay, and the mills along the waterfront. In 1888, he was engaged by John Muir to join a Mount Rainier climbing expedition. His personal account of the first historic use of the camera on the upper slopes and at the summit of the mountain was published in The Mountaineer(1956).

After Warner married Edith Randolph, the daughter of the well-to-do Captain Simon Peter Randolph, he formed a business partnership with his father-in-law. S.P. Randolph may have furnished the necessary capital and Warner the essential camera and legwork for an adventure in Gold Rush photography in Alaska. In the summers of 1898, 1899 and 1900, Warner went to Alaska as a prospector, a packer and a photographer. The cartouche on the reverse of his Alaskan cabinet mounts provides a Seattle address and gives an indication that the Alaskan specialty of Warner was in views of Skagway, Dyea and the Chilkoot Pass.

After 1900, Warner remained in Seattle to pursue several lines of work - as a photographer for the publisher Lowman and Hanford, as a confectioner with a shop in the Seattle Hotel on Second Ave., and as a sales agent for the landscape paintings and photographs of Albert Henry Barnes of Tacoma who died in 1920. After Barnes death, Warner became more active in his own photographic enterprises, continuing until his death in 1943. In 1925 he commenced the Warner Projection Company and found a ready market for art deco projection slides to be used with cartoons and the lyrics of popular songs which might be projected on the theater screen. In addition, together with his wife, Warner presented illustrated lectures on the wild flowers of western Washington.

Events
Theodore Roosevelt visit (1903)
During April and May of 1903 President Theodore Roosevelt participated in a eight-week, 25-state tour of the American West that was partially a campaign tour, but also used to advocate for the conservation of natural resources. In Washington state, he visited, among other places, the capitol city of Olympia, Tacoma, and Seattle. Traveling north from the Columbia River, he gave “whistle stop” speeches at Kalama, Chehalis and Centralia. After boarding the steamer Spokane in Tacoma, he attended an event at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard at Bremerton and then steamed across Puget Sound to Seattle arriving on May 23rd. As part of his Seattle agenda the president paraded up and down 1st, 2nd and 3rd Avenues via horse drawn carriage, later giving a speech at what was called the “old University Grounds” – site of the original University of Washington from 1861 to 1895.

Alki Monument dedication (1905)
On November 13, 1905, in celebration of its’ 54th birthday, the city of Seattle dedicated a monument on Alki Point in West Seattle, marking the site of the Denny Party landing in 1851. After the unveiling of the granite monument referred to as the Founder's Pylon, Professor Edmond Meany addressed the crowd that was partially composed of some of the members of the original landing party and their relatives. In his speech, Meany retold the story of the landing and ended his speech with a special tribute to the pioneer wives.

Great White Fleet (1908)
The Great White Fleet arrived in Seattle on May 23,1908. The visit was part of a 14-month cruise around the world by the 16 battleships and 14,000 sailors of the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet. The fleet left Norfolk, Virginia, on December 16, 1907, arriving in Seattle in May of the following year by way of South America and San Francisco. The cruise was a exhibition of U.S. fighting abilities, particularly to the Empire of Japan, which had recently defeated Russia in a sea battle. Festivities in Seattle included parades up 2nd Avenue to the cheers of 300,000 people and the presentation of the key to the city (made from Klondike gold) to Rear Admiral C.S. Sperry, commander of the fleet, by Seattle Mayor John F. Miller. The fleet departed Seattle on May 27th.

Twelve bear cubs, brought from the city of Aberdeen to be presented as mascots to the battleships, were paraded through the streets of Seattle during the welcome festivities for the Great White Fleet. Each was led by a prominent citizen of Aberdeen and the antics of the cubs caused much laughter. Before the reviewing stand was reached the little fellows looked too tired to walk and the men had to carry them.

Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition (1909)
The 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) held in Seattle, Washington, was the spectacular result of nearly 10 million dollars and four years of effort. The Klondike Gold Rush made Seattle the dominant city in the Pacific Northwest, as the major supplier to Alaska. The goal of the 1909 AYPE was to show off the growth and development of the Pacific Northwest, specifically Seattle, and to display the value of commercial trade with the Pacific Rim. When Japan agreed to participate, the AYPE became a truly international, multi-cultural event, which planners of the AYPE hoped would demonstrate cooperation between people from around the world. On a less philosophical level, city officials also hoped that the exposition would encourage people to relocate to the growing metropolis of Seattle.

In 1897 businessman William T. Baker formed the Snoqualmie Falls Power Company and bought Snoqualmie Falls and the surrounding land with the intent of building a power plant. Construction of the plant began in 1898. The first operational generator was online and began to transmit power to Seattle on July 31, 1899. A large rock in the center of the brink, known as Seattle Rock, was dynamited in 1900, after causing too many logjams near the top.

Mount Rainier summit climb, August 1888
In 1888, photographer Arthur Churchill Warner was engaged by John Muir to join a Mt. Rainier climbing expedition as a working member of a small party that would also include Major Edward S. Ingraham, the Californian artist William Keith, a young scientist named Charles V. Piper, Henry Loomis, Norman O. Booth, Daniel Waldo Bass, young Joe Stampfler and John Hays who tended the horses, the guides Indian Henry and Philemon Beecher Van Trump. This would be the first historic use of a camera at the summit of the mountain. His personal account of this ascent was published in 1956 in "The Mountaineer", the journal of the Mountaineers, an alpine club serving the state of Washington.

Klondike and Nome Gold Rushes
Over 100,000 "stampeders" set out for the gold fields of the Yukon River and its tributaries in Canada and Alaska between 1897 and 1898, seeing them as a promising opportunity in what had been a bleak decade (Panic of 1893). The most popular routes to the Klondike gold fields were through Dyea, Alaska and over the Chilkoot Pass or through Skagway and over the White Pass. Both trails were arduous and sometimes impassable, fraught with extremely difficult conditions. In September 1898, the "Three Lucky Swedes" discovered gold on Anvil Creek and founded the Nome mining district. By the winter of 1899, gold was found in the beach sands for dozens of miles along the coast at Nome. By 1900 thousands of prospectors had poured into Nome, many of whom had arrived from the Klondike gold rush area. Beginning probably in 1897, A. C. Warner periodically went to Alaska as a prospector, a packer and a photographer. His father-in-law, Captain Simon Peter Randolph, may have furnished the necessary capital for an adventure in Gold Rush photography in Alaska. A.C. Warner himself mined on the Seward Peninsula, in and around Nome, and specifically northeast of Nome in the vicinity of Sparkle Gulch near the Nome River.

Expositions - Chicago and St. Louis
World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, Illinois, 1893
The World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair, was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. It was located on 686 acres along the city’s south lakefront area. Part of this location is now Jackson Park in Chicago. The chief planner was the Chicago architect Daniel H. Burnham with Charles B. Atwood as designer in chief and Frederick Law Olmsted entrusted with landscaping. Opening on May 1, 1893, more than 150,000 people passed through the grounds each day during its six-month run, making it larger than all of the U.S. world’s fairs that preceded it.

Warner and Randolph
After Warner married Edith Randolph in 1890, the daughter of the well-to-do Captain Simon Peter Randolph, he formed a business partnership with his father-in-law. Simon Peter Randolph (1835 – 1909) arrived in Seattle in 1868 and was active in boating on the Duwamish, Skagit, Snohomish, Black Rivers and Lake Washington. He was responsible for dredging much of the lower White River and cleared the Black River between its outlet and the Duwamish River. He was also engaged in transporting coal for the Lake Washington Coal Company on barges from Lake Washington by way of Black River. He retired from active business in 1889. The partnership of Warner and Randolph published views of Seattle and also scenes from around Puget Sound. Seattle city directories show Warner and Randolph owning a photography studio at the 71 Hinckley Block between 1891 and 1892. Randolph may also have provided the capital which allowed A. C. Warner to photograph in Alaska from about 1897 to 1900.

  Chief Saanaheit totem pole and house posts from Kaigani Haida village of Kasaan, Sitka Park
In 1903 Alaska's Governor, John Green Brady collected some 20 poles from Prince of Wales Island, acquiring specimens from the Tlingit villages of Tuxekan and Klawock, and the Haida villages of Howkan, Klinkwan, Sukkwan, Old Kasaan, and Koinglas. Some recarving, patching, and repainting was done under Brady's direction, after which the poles were sent to St. Louis for the 1904 Lousiana Purchase Exposition. After the exposition some of the totems were in such poor condition that they were sold; the remaining poles were sent to the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland. They were later shipped to Sitka, repaired and repainted, and mounted in the park around 1906.Designs on these house posts are said to be from a legend in which Raven obtains the sun, moon and stars for the people of the earth. The totem pole has several figures such as the traditional Village Watchman, a bear, and Raven.
