Photographs
illustrating the political and environmental history of Olympic National
Park
Carsten Lien was born in Seattle on March 24, 1926. He graduated from
Ballard High School in 1944 before serving in the United States Navy during
World War II. After the war, he attended the University of Washington
(Bachelor’s Degree in Education) and Columbia University
(Master’s Degree in Education and History) while also working for
several summers as a seasonal ranger naturalist in Olympic National Park.
Lien had a long and varied career. Following his graduation from
Columbia, he taught social studies at Ballard High School before working at the
Bureau of Community Development at the University of Washington. He then took a
position as a deputy administrator of the Latin America Training Program for
the Peace Corps. Lien also worked at the U.S. Department of Labor, as a senior
vice president at Washington Mutual Savings Bank, and as vice president and
corporate secretary of REI.
After his retirement, Lien focused much of his efforts on
conservation. In 1988, he served as the president of the Mountaineers, a
Seattle-based hiking and climbing club that formed in 1906. Three years later,
he published his first book
Olympic Battleground: The Power Politics of Timber
Preservation (San Francisco: Sierra Club Books, 1991), which explored
the fight to save the forests in Olympic National Park from logging.
Lien’s second book,
Exploring the Olympic Mountains: Accounts of the
Earliest Expeditions, 1878-1890 (Seattle: Mountaineers Books, 2001),
was published ten years later.
In addition to his involvement with the Mountaineers, Lien served on
the boards of The Nature Conservancy, Olympic Park Associates, Seattle Council
of the Boy Scouts of America, the Seattle Municipal League, and the Allied Arts
of Seattle. He also ran for the Seattle School Board in 1974 and for mayor of
Seattle in 1989, although he was not successful in either campaign.
Carsten Lien died on April 7, 2012.
Federal management of forest land on Washington State's Olympic
Peninsula began in 1897 when President Grover Cleveland issued a proclamation
creating the Olympic Forest Reserve. Cleveland's proclamation mandated
protection of 2,188,800 acres from settlement and development activities on the
Olympic Peninsula. As a precursor to later debates regarding public land
management, President William McKinley subsequently reduced acreage in the
Olympic Forest Reserve by nearly 700,000 acres in 1900 and 1901 under pressure
from timber companies and development advocates. In 1907, the Olympic Forest
Reserve became known as the Olympic National Forest as part of the Forest
Service's reorganization into the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Concurrent with the rise of environmentalism in the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries, President Theodore Roosevelt established Mount
Olympus National Monument in 1909 to help preserve forest and grazing areas for
the Olympic Peninsula's native elk population. Mount Olympus National Monument
originally included 610,560 acres, however, President Woodrow Wilson reduced
the Monument by nearly 50% in 1915 in response to increasing demands for timber
and mining resources. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt officially
established Olympic National Park as a protected area under control of the U.S.
Department of Interior's National Park Service. In the 1940s and 1950s,
management of Olympic National Park became a topic of intense political debate
between environmentalists and timber industry advocates. The National Park
Service authorized controversial logging operations in Olympic National Park in
1955 and 1956, and debate regarding development in and resource management of
public lands remains ongoing and highly contested.
Olympic National Park became an International Biosphere Reserve in
1976, and in 1981 earned distinction as a World Heritage Site. Environmental
protection of Olympic National Park increased further in 1988, when nearly 95%
of the Park received designation as a federal Wilderness Area. As of 2005,
Olympic National Park encompasses 922,651 acres and receives nearly 3 million
annual visitors. Olympic National Park is largely surrounded by the Olympic
National Forest, which contains an additional 633,677 acres of
federally-managed land and receives 455,900 annual visitors.
The collection contains images related to the political history,
environmental protection, and public management of Olympic National Park and
the Olympic National Forest. Special emphasis is placed on development
activities, logging operations, and environmental activism in the 1940s and
1950s. Included are photographs by Neil Mortiboy used in a 1941 report entitled
Sitka Spruce in Olympic National Park,
photographs by Carsten Lien of historic buildings and lookouts in Olympic
National Park, portraits of Emergency Conservation Committee members,
photographs of logging operations in and around Olympic National Park,
photographs of prominent National Park Service administrators, copies of
related materials such as political cartoons, boundary maps, and newspaper
advertisements, and copies of newspaper articles from
The Seattle Press about the Press
Expedition of 1889-1890 and the Conrad-Olmstead Party of 1890. This collection
also contains images presenting the relationship between Mount Rainier National
Park and Olympic National Park.
The collection is organized based on the collector's original order.

1889-1890 Expeditions to the Olympic
Peninsula
Carsten Lien made these copy negatives primarily from an issue of
The Seattle Press originally published
on July 16, 1890. This issue of
The Seattle Press provides a detailed
narrative of the "Press Expedition" - a small group of explorers sent into the
Olympic Mountains by the newspaper to research and document the topography,
flora, and fauna of the area. The Press Expedition left Seattle, WA on December
8, 1889 and headed for Port Angeles, WA, where they completed final
preparations for a wintertime exploration of the Olympic Mountains. On January
13, 1890, the party began its ascent up the Elwha River into the Mountains, and
they reached Aberdeen, WA on May 21, 1890. The party returned to Seattle, WA on
May 23, 1890 to hearty congratulations for their in-depth exploration of the
Olympic Mountains and surrounding areas.
The July 16, 1890 issue of
The Seattle Press also includes a
narrative of the Conrad-Olmstead Exploration, a party that visited the Olympic
Mountains from June 16-July 8, 1890.
