English.Collection of
photographs attributed to H. B. Herrick from Alaska, Seattle, and the Olympic
Peninsula. Collection includes the Alaskan villages of Kasaan and Old Kasaan as
well as guiding, packing and camping in and around Olympic National Park on the
Olympic Peninsula.Henry Burt Herrick was born in 1877 in Alma, Kansas, to parents Edwin
and Elizabeth R. Herrick. The family moved from Kansas to Seattle in 1884. In
1891, Edwin and Elizabeth moved to Clallam County on the Olympic Peninsula of
Washington and set up a homestead on the west bank of the Upper Elwha River,
about one and a half miles north of what is now the northern boundary of the
Olympic National Park. Herrick joined his parents in Clallam County in 1892
after finishing school in Seattle. Herrick was issued the first Clallam County
packer-guide license in 1900.
In 1901, Herrick left Clallam County for Prince of Wales Island in
Southeast Alaska, where he spent a year hunting, prospecting, and working in
the fishing industry. In 1902 he returned to Seattle and married Elizabeth B.
Casner of Boise, Idaho (1879-1966). Herrick then returned to Prince of Wales
Island with his new wife and the couple lived in Kasaan, Alaska, between 1902
and 1903. In 1903, Elizabeth and Herrick returned to Seattle, where he was a
conductor on the street railroad, worked at a sawmill, sold real estate, and
operated a photography studio. His photography studio in Seattle was located at
226 Dexter Avenue.
Herrick’s mother died in 1908, the same year he and his wife, Lizzie,
moved to his father’s homestead in Elwha. Herrick had many roles in the area.
He was the postmaster from 1909 to 1929. He also built and operated a store
between 1910 and 1932, which served as the post office and headquarters for
travelers to the Olympic Hot Springs. At the time the Herrick Store was built
it was located at the end of the road, which did not continue west. In 1912,
Herrick began operating a pack train from his store over the 11 mile trail to
the Olympic Hot Springs Resort. Herrick also led guiding and packing trips for
hunting and fishing parties and worked in the logging industry. Herrick moved
to Port Angeles in 1941, where he lived until his death in 1960.
Herrick and Elizabeth had three children; John Wilbert Herrick, known
as Wilbur (1912-1987); Grant William Herrick (1914-1977), and Virginia Leah
Garrison (1916-2016). Wilbur worked in the logging and resort industries for a
time in the Olympic Peninsula before moving to Los Angeles. Grant also worked
in the logging industry for a time in the Olympic Peninsula before moving to
Idaho. Virginia moved to Los Angeles where she became a singer and movie
actress, with roles in several western films beginning in 1950. She married
Omar Garrison in 1952 and the couple moved to Rome, Italy.
The banks of the Elwha River on the Olympic Peninsula were home to
Klallam Indians for thousands of years before Euroamerican settlement. The
first permanent white residents on the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula
staked homestead claims in the early 1850s when the Washington Territory was
created. By the 1880s, many homestead claims were filed, all the way into the
upper Elwha Valley.
Many homesteaders did not stay long, and the homesteading population
of the Elwha valley peaked in the 1890s. Those that did remain into the 1900s
not only farmed but took on multiple occupations in order to survive, including
fishing, hunting, guiding, packing, and other ventures. Settler Warriner Smith
operated a sawmill on his homestead. William MacDonald became Elwha Valley’s
first postmaster. H.B. Herrick operated a grocery business, hotel, and managed
the Elwha post office. Doc Ludden settled along the Elwha in 1906, a later
arrival to the area. He established an orchard, apiary, and store where he sold
his products, as well as ran a hostel for travelers.
Transportation was difficult in the Olympic Peninsula in the early
1900s due to a lack of roads. Brothers Grant and William Humes operated a
packing and guiding business for mountaineers and hunters. In 1910, the Herrick
store was built at the western terminus of the Olympic Highway and became the
headquarters for pack trains entering the Olympic interior.
In the early 1900s several resorts were established in the area,
within the current Olympic National Park boundaries. One of the earliest
resorts was the Log Cabin Hotel or Piedmont Hotel on the north shore of Lake
Crescent, which was built in 1895 and burned down in 1932. Other resorts took
advantage of the natural hot springs in the area. The Sol Duc Hot Springs
Resort opened in 1912, on the banks of the Sol Duc River. It burned down in
1916, but was rebuilt in the 1930s.
The longest running of the resorts in the Elwha Valley was the Olympic
Hot Springs Resort opened in 1909 by William “Billy” Everett and his wife,
Margaret Schoeffel, along with her brother, Karl Schoeffel. When the resort was
opened it was fairly primitive, with a natural pool lined with wood and tents
for visitors to sleep in. Over the years, the Everett family built up the
resort, adding cabins for guests and a large concrete pool. Travel to and from
the resort was difficult as there were no established roads to the resort until
the extension to the Olympic Highway was completed in 1931. Before that time,
there was an 11-mile trail used to bring in supplies as well as visitors to the
resort. The Humes brothers operated a pack train to and from the resort until
1912, when H.B. Herrick took over the operation. The Olympic Hot Springs resort
was run by the Everett and Schoeffel families until it closed in 1966.

Old KasaanThe village of Kasaan was located on the north shore of
Skowl Bay, a place known as Skowl Arm, on the east coast of Prince of Wales
Island. A group of Kaigani Haida settled in this area between the late 1600s
and mid-1700s. It grew to a settlement of 500 people, including 18 lodges, and
60 totem poles, but epidemics from the 1860s to the 1880s drastically reduced
the population. At the time of habitation the village was known as Kasaan, but
after the village was relocated around 1900, the abandoned village was known as
Old Kasaan.

death in the winter of 1882-1883. Chief Skowl’s first house in Kasaan was named
Nahalás, which translates as “House Climbing Up” or “More Back House.” This
house was located directly behind Chief Skowl's second, newer house in Kasaan.
The pole in front of Nahalás depicts figures of Russian priests and an angel.
There are differing accounts of the meaning of this pole. When photographer
Ensign Albert P. Niblack visited Old Kasaan his account describes how the pole
"commemorates the failure of the Russian priests to convert Skáwaal’s people to
their faith and was erected in ridicule and derision of the religion of the
white man.” Information from the Canadian Museum of History and the Kasaan
Haida Heritage Foundation.

smaller first house of Chief Skowl, named Nahalás. There were two tall totem
poles standing in front of the house. During Chief Skowl's lifetime, there was
only one pole in front of the house. The second pole was erected after Chief
Skowl's death, by his successor in 1889. Information from the Kasaan Haida

Chief Sonihat's house near KasaanChief Sonihat of the Yáadaas (Eagle) moiety owned this
house which was built in 1880 near Kasaan Bay, northwest of New Kasaan. The
house was named Náay I’waans, called the "Great House" or "House Without
Nails," known today as the Whale House. The house was abandoned several years
after Sonihat's death in 1912.
Chief Sonihat's name has been spelled many different ways,
including "Son-i-hat" and "Saanaheit." He is also referred to as "Sunny-hearts"
in accompanying material from this collection.

Kasaan [Kasa-an]The villagers of Kasaan relocated several miles north from
their village on Skowl Arm to the north shore of Kasaan Bay around 1900. This
was due to disease that drastically reduced the population of Kasaan as well as
the opening of a mine and several other industries in Kasaan Bay in 1892. While
the mine went bankrupt in 1900, a salmon cannery opened nearby in 1902. One of
the village chiefs of Kasaan, Chief Sonihat, decided to move to this new
settlement and by 1902, the villagers of Old Kasaan had relocated to the new
village, known as “New Kasaan” or simply “Kasaan.” This new village had a
school, stores, a Presbyterian Church and other businesses, including a
sawmill.

The steamship QUEEN of the Pacific Coast Steamship Co. was
on her scheduled passenger run up the coast from San Francisco to Puget Sound
when, off Tillamook Head, Oregon, at four o'clock on the morning of February
27, 1904, fire broke out below decks and quickly enveloped the ship's stern.
The captain and crew battled the blaze with utmost skill and courage and in
this manner, a wholesale disaster was averted. The steamer reached Port
Townsend the following day, but 14 lives were lost before the fire was
controlled and the steamer sustained major damage, the stern and texas being
burned out and much damage done to the decks and superstructure. (pg. 100)
