Hudson Stuck (November 4, 1863 – October 10, 1920) was a British native who became an Episcopal
|
44_1
|
priest, social reformer and mountain climber in the United States. With Harry P. Karstens, he
|
44_2
|
co-led the first expedition to successfully climb Denali (Mount McKinley) in June 1913, via the
|
44_3
|
South Summit. He published five books about his years in Alaska. Two memoirs were issued in new
|
44_4
|
editions in 1988, including his account of the ascent of Denali.
|
44_5
|
Stuck was born in London and graduated from King's College London. He immigrated to the United
|
44_6
|
States in 1885 and lived there for the rest of his life. After working as a cowboy and teacher for
|
44_7
|
several years in Texas, he went to University of the South to study theology. After graduation, he
|
44_8
|
was ordained as an Episcopal priest. Moving to Alaska in 1904, he served as Archdeacon of the
|
44_9
|
Yukon, acting as a missionary for the church and a proponent of "muscular Christianity". He died of
|
44_10
|
pneumonia in Fort Yukon, Alaska.
|

|
Early life and education
|
44_12
|
Stuck was born in Paddington, London, England to James and Jane (Hudson) Stuck. He attended
|
44_13
|
Westbourne Park Public School and King's College London. Yearning for a bigger life, he immigrated
|
44_14
|
to Texas in 1885, where he worked as a cowboy near Junction City. He also taught in one-room
|
44_15
|
schools at Copperas Creek, San Angelo, and San Marcos.
|
44_16
|
In 1889 he enrolled to study theology at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. After
|
44_17
|
completing his studies, Stuck became an Episcopal priest in 1892. He first served a congregation in
|
44_18
|
Cuero, Texas for two years.
|
44_19
|
He was called to St. Matthew's Cathedral in Dallas in 1894. Two years later, he became dean. He
|
44_20
|
stressed progressive goals in his sermons and regularly published articles related to his causes.
|
44_21
|
There he founded a night school for millworkers, a home for indigent women, and St. Matthew's
|
44_22
|
Children's Home. In 1903 he gained passage in Texas of the first state law against child labor. He
|
44_23
|
regularly preached and wrote against lynching. It was at an all-time high in the South around the
|
44_24
|
turn of the century, which was also the period when state legislatures were passing legislation and
|
44_25
|
constitutions that disfranchised blacks and many poor whites.
|

|
Alaska mission
|
44_27
|
In 1904 Stuck moved to Alaska to serve with Missionary Bishop Peter Trimble Rowe. Under the title
|
44_28
|
Archdeacon of the Yukon and the Arctic, with a territory of 250,000 square miles, Stuck traveled
|
44_29
|
between the scattered parishes and missions by dogsled and boat as well as foot and snowshoe. In
|
44_30
|
his first year, Stuck established a church, mission and hospital at Fairbanks, the new boomtown
|
44_31
|
filling up with miners and associated hangers on. Some staff came from Klondike, where the gold
|
44_32
|
rush had ended. The small hospital treated epidemics of meningitis and typhoid fever, as well as
|
44_33
|
pneumonia common in the North.
|
44_34
|
In 1905, Rev. Charles E. Betticher, Jr joined Stuck in Alaska as a missionary. They founded
|
44_35
|
numerous missions in the Tanana Valley over the next decade: at Nenana (St. Mark's Mission and
|
44_36
|
Tortella School at Nenana, the school in 1907), St. Barnabas at Chena Native Village, St. Luke's at
|
44_37
|
Salcha, and St. Timothy's at Tanacross (near Tok, formerly known as the Tanana Crossing). All
|
44_38
|
served the Alaska Natives of the region. Tortella School was the only boarding school to serve
|
44_39
|
native children in the Interior of Alaska, and was supported by scholarships and offerings raised
|
44_40
|
by the Episcopal Church. Missionary Anne Cragg Farthing ran the school and was the primary teacher.
|
44_41
|
Her brother was bishop of Toronto, Ontario.
|
44_42
|
Five hundred miles up the Koyukuk River from its confluence with the Yukon, at its junction with
|
44_43
|
its tributary the Alatna River, in 1907 Stuck founded a mission he called Allakaket (Koyukon for
|
44_44
|
"at the mouth of the Alatna") but others called St. John's in the Woods for the several hundred
|
44_45
|
Indians here. For years Episcopal woman missionaries ran the remote station just above the Arctic
|
44_46
|
Circle, including Deaconess Clara M. Carter and Clara Heintz. (Other women missionaries later
|
44_47
|
included Harriet Bedell who, like Stuck, has been honored on the Episcopal liturgical calendar.)
|
44_48
|
The mission served both Koyukon and Iñupiat, who were settled on opposite sides of the river. The
|
44_49
|
latter had come up the Kobuk River from lower areas. Thus the missioners had two Native languages
|
44_50
|
to learn.
|
44_51
|
To reach the scattered populations of miners and other frontiersmen, Stuck started the Church
|
44_52
|
Periodical Club. Based in Fairbanks, it collected and distributed periodicals to all the missions
|
44_53
|
and to other settlements where Americans gathered. It did not have only church literature, and in
