Mount Rainier climbing expeditions and scenes of the vicinity and images of the
Klondike Gold RushSurveyor and photographer Henry Mason Sarvant (1869-1940) was born on
April 22, 1869, in the state of New York. He was raised by his mother's sister,
Mrs. Mason Weld, in Cloister, New Jersey. After settling in Tacoma in 1889, he
had a long and varied life, working as a civil engineer in Tacoma and serving
as mayor of the Washington state town of Steilacoom.
Sarvant made many trips to Mount Rainier and was responsible for the
first extensive surveys of the region. During an expedition in August 1892,
Sarvant was one of the first eleven people to reach the summit of Mount
Rainier. He led P.B. Trump's party on several of the early climbs to the
summit. He also worked for the Washington Geological Survey party of Mount
Rainier, naming many of the lakes, glaciers, and peaks in the park. Later, a
series of glaciers on the northeast slope were named after him. In 1897 Sarvant
traveled to the Klondike region where he worked as a surveyor and located a
successful mine earning enough gold to fund his later business and farming
ventures.
Sarvant returned to the Tacoma region in 1900 and served as mayor of
Steilacoom. For many years he was treasurer of the Northwestern Woodenware
Company of Tacoma. There he met J.W. Slayden, and in 1908 he married Slayden's
sister, Carolyn Cobbler. In 1912 he moved to Yakima where he became involved in
the fruit industry, conducting experiments in horticulture and developing new
strains of flowers and plants. Sarvant continued to work in his orchard until
his death on March 9, 1940.
Arranged in 2 series.
- Series 1, Mount Rainier Album
- Series 2, Travels in Alaska and the Yukon
Series 1: Mount Rainier Album
Mount Rainier is the highest volcano in the
Cascade Range (at 14,411 feet, 4,392 m), and was named Rainier by the British
explorer Captain George Vancouver. During a mapping expedition of the Puget
Sound in 1792, he became the first European to view the mountain. The first
well-documented climb of Rainier was made in 1857, led by United States Army
Lieutenant August Valentine Kautz who was stationed in nearby Fort Steilacoom.
Many in the climbing group suffered from snow blindness and other maladies, so
after eight days Kautz turned back when they were just 400 feet from the
summit.
Two years later an Indiana settler, James Longmire, founded a trade
route named the Packwood Trail, which extended from the coast to the slopes of
Mount Rainier. In 1870, Longmire led a group of four men, including a Yakima
Indian guide named Sluiskin, on the first recorded successful climb to Mount
Rainier summit. In 1883, Longmire discovered several soda and iron springs
while camping at the southern foothills of Rainier. He established Mount
Rainier's first hotel there and advertised the medicinal value of the spring
water and mineral water baths. The success of the Longmire Hotel raised the
popularity of Rainier as a destination for mountain climbers and tourists.
In 1888, John Muir and photographer Arthur C. Warner traveled to
Rainier. Their writings and pictures further spread Mount Rainier's fame.
Schoolteacher Fay Fuller became the first woman to climb the mountain in 1890.
Mount Rainier National Park was established on March 2, 1899, by President
McKinley, making it the fifth oldest national park in the United States. The
park, which encompasses 378 square miles, sparked much debate regarding its
title. Many favored Mount Tacoma, based upon the Native American name Takhoma.
Note: Sarvant often identifies Mount Rainier as Mount Tacoma.
Series 2: Travels in Alaska and the Yukon
On July 17, 1897, the steamship Portland
arrived in Seattle from Alaska carrying over $700,000 in gold bullion. News of
this treasure and gold rush fever spread quickly, and the "Rush" was on. Seeing
the Klondike as a golden opportunity in what had been a bleak decade (Panic of
1893), over 100,000 "stampeders" set out to the gold fields of the Yukon River
and its tributaries in Canada and Alaska. The most popular routes were through
Dyea and over the Chilkoot Pass or through Skagway and over the White Horse
Path. Neither was easy; during the winter months heavy snow and ice made the
trip dangerous and difficult, and in the fall and spring travelers had to
contend with thick, unending mud. The Canadian North West Mounted Police were
stationed at the summit of both passes, collecting duty on incoming goods and
ensuring that each person was adequately outfitted to survive one year in the
Klondike (one ton of food and equipment per person). Avalanches, drownings,
typhoid, spinal meningitis, and scurvy claimed many lives. Of the tens of
thousands who actually made it to Bonanza, only a few found fortunes. Although
the Klondike Gold Rush lasted only a few years, it had an immediate and lasting
effect on Western Canada and the United States. New towns sprang up along the
trails to the gold fields, and the populations of existing towns and cities
rose dramatically. The economic strength of these cities increased, as well,
because prospectors spent money on supplies, lodging, meals, gambling,
prostitution, and other forms of entertainment.
The collection documents Sarvant's time on and around Mount Rainier,
as well as his years in Alaska and the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. The
first section of the collection is comprised of photographs which were taken
from an album showing scenes primarily of Mount Rainier and its vicinity. The
photographs were made by Sarvant between 1892 and August, 1913. Among these
items are approximately 25 photographs taken by Sarvant's friend, Alvin H.
Waite, who was a Tacoma landscape photographer and mountain climber. Most of
the photographs in the first section chronicle the trips Sarvant took to Mount
Rainier and show early settlements in the area, including Longmire Springs, the
Kernahan's cabins, and Haines Mill. Also included in the collection is a short
sequence entitled "Scenes from the Northern Pacific Railroad," which documents
a trip Sarvant took in August of 1903 to other Northwest locales.
The second group of photographs centers around Sarvant's time in
Alaska and the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. They appear to have been
taken by Sarvant between August 1897 and November 1901, and are thematically
arranged into three sections. The first chronicles Sarvant's trip up to the
Klondike at the beginning of the Gold Rush (August, 1897) through Dyea and over
the Chilkoot Pass to Dawson. The second set documents his movements through the
gold fields of Bonanza, Eldorado, Hunker, and Adam's Creeks, providing
pictorial evidence of mining practices and equipment, towns, camps, cabins,
natural terrain, portraits of miners, and in some cases, their families and
pets. The last set of photos seems to have been taken on Sarvant's return trip
(or trips) from the gold fields. They show natural scenery, Native American
houses, totem poles, and carvings, the disabled ship Farralon , and the towns of Sitka, Ketchikan, and
Wrangell, Alaska.

The Mount Rainier Series was in a deteriorating
album, so the photographs were removed with the original order retained.
Information about the images was taken from writing on the photos and on the
album pages, which are located in box 2. Dates for the Alvin H. Waite
photographs were taken from his detailed inventory, which can be found in the
Alvin H. Waite Papers, manuscript Accession no. 3475-1 in the repository,
rather than from Sarvant's notations.
