Abstract:
According to John B. Branson, park ranger/historian with the National Park Service, Lake Clark Nat'l Park and Preserve, this collection may contain the earliest extant photographs of Tanalian Point, now known as Port Alsworth, and what is now Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Two letters sent from Tanalian Point to A.S. Tulloch, from Otis M. "Doc" Dutton and Joe Kackley, provide some information about the region and the men. The collection contains several pictures of Walter Crane, Dean of the Penn. State School of Mines, who did assessment work on copper claims at Kasna Creek near Lake Clark. The collection also contains a photograph of Joe Kackley and Hannah Breece having a picnic on a Lake Iliamna island, which appeared in "A Schoolteacher in Old Alaska, the Story of Hannah Breece," 1995. John Branson, with the aid of Iliamna-Lake Clark elders and others, added substantial information to the guide, including personal names and locations.

Biographical/Historical Data:
Arthur Stanley Tullock was born in Ontario, Canada in 1872 and died in Michigan on March 14, 1957. He immigrated to the U.S. at an early age and came to the Klondike from Michigan in 1898-1899. He returned between 1906-1913 and the late 1920's. He may have been in the Lake Clark Area in 1913 when Walter R. Crane, Dean of Penn State University School of Mines, came to do assessment work at the Kasna Creek copper mine. Other than the images, two letters in the collection (1911 and 1927) from Doc Dutton and Joe Kackley offer some information. According to James Carter, he enjoyed reading Alaska Sportsman magazine and discussing his days in Alaska. John Branson, with the aid of Iliamna-Lake Clark elders and others, added substantial information to the guide.
