Introduction

The Alaska State Library is pleased to publish this finding aid to the Snow Family Papers. The Papers were presented to the Library by Corrinne Kenway and her children. Mrs. Kenway is the granddaughter of George and Anna Snow, and daughter to Crystal Snow Jenne. In 1980, the Kenways began bringing the Papers to the Library as they reclaimed the rooms of their family home in Juneau by shifting through the many items stored there. The last addition to the collection was made in 1992. It is fitting that the finding aid should be published 100 years after the Snows began making their marks in the Yukon and Juneau.

George and Anna Snow and their two children, Monte and Crystal, came to Juneau from California in 1887 to perform with their theatre troop. As he had in California, George caught gold fever and went to the Klondike in 1888 and a second time in 1892. Two years later, he hiked the Chilkoot trail again, taking his family and theatre troupe. After 1898, the family lived in Juneau or Seattle. Their daughter, Crystal Snow Jenne, settled in Juneau in 1900 where she raised a family and became active in politics as well as the theatre.

The objective of this publication is to make the Snow Papers available to researchers interested in Alaska and Yukon history. Areas of particular interest include theatre, the Yukon Order of Pioneers, the Ladies of the Golden North, and Alaska politics in the 1930s and 1940s.

David Kenway, great grandson of George and Anna Snow, was instrumental in the preparation of the papers for presentation to the Library and in the gathering of family history. He also corresponded with other family members to provide additional information. Without his assistance, this collection and publication would not have been possible.

The arrangement and description of these papers, as well as the production of this guide, is the work of Rose Schreier, Librarian I. The Papers arrived in no clear order, so Rose spent many hours working with the family to arrange and describe these materials in a logical sequence. In addition to me, India Spartz, Elaine Hobbs, Peggy Patton, Artemis BonaDea and Gladi Kulp assisted in the preparation. Special thanks also to volunteers Logan Dameron, who collected some background material, and Agnes Sincic, who assisted in the processing.

Manuscript Collection 38

MS 38 SNOW FAMILY PAPERS

MS 38--SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE:

Arriving in Juneau on April 24, 1887, George Snow, his wife, Anna, and their two children, Monte and Crystal, along with George's brother Joe, pursued theatrical careers which took them from Juneau to the Yukon Territory. In addition to their theatrical pursuits, George and Joe Snow tried their luck with several mining ventures. George and Anna traveled between Juneau and Seattle, returning to Juneau in 1900. They were committed in their efforts to establish organizations instrumental in promoting and furthering the pioneering spirit of residents of the North and became heavily involved with the Yukon Order of Pioneers, Alaska-Yukon Pioneers, and Ladies of the Golden North. In 1910, George and Anna moved to Seattle, while Crystal Snow Jenne spent the remainder of her life in Juneau. This collection reflects the family's involvement in civic, social, theatrical/musical, and political areas and provides information on the early days of white settlement in the Yukon Territory and Juneau, Alaska.

George Snow first made a trip over the Chilkoot Pass into the Yukon Territory in 1888, well before the Klondike Gold Rush. George Snow's personal papers cover a span of years from the 1890s (recordings of business transactions) to 1922 (last will and testament). He was a founding member of the Yukon Order of Pioneers (Y.O.O.P.), which was established on December 1, 1894 in Fortymile, Yukon Territory. Y.O.O.P. papers include club correspondence, constitutions/by-laws, membership lists, newspaper clippings, and various other memorabilia. Snow also attempted to document Yukon history through his personal writings, The Discovery of the Klondike. By authorization from Y.O.O.P., Snow also compiled a history of the Yukon Valley watershed, collecting reports of other miners and pioneers. This compilation, History of the Yukon, contains original, handwritten reports detailing life and activities in the Yukon, 1871-1897. Snow edited and put these reports into typescript form, but the manuscript was never published.

Anna Snow was a founding member of the Ladies of the Golden North, the auxiliary to the Alaska-Yukon Pioneers (a later off-shoot of the Y.O.O.P.). The Ladies of the Golden North was established on March 6, 1919 in Seattle, where George and Anna had moved in 1910. Her extensive collection of materials documenting this organization includes club correspondence, ritual, notices of banquets/picnics, constitutions/by-laws, membership lists, and newspaper clippings. Anna Snow was also involved with the Rebekah Lodge, Women's Relief Corps, and American Legion Auxiliary; and these organizations are also represented in this collection. Along with official club materials, Anna Snow's extensive collection of personal correspondence (1904-1943) highlights the network established by these organizations and provides information on the beginnings of pioneer organizations in Alaska and the Yukon. She was also a

7


talented creative writer and materials in this collection include her poetry, musical compositions, and journals.

Crystal Snow Jenne's papers document her prominence in Juneau history through printed materials and photographs. Her talents as a child actress and as a singer throughout her life are evident from the existing theatre reviews, concert tour reviews and church choir programs. Her involvement in Juneau civic affairs was extensive. She was a member of several organizations: the National Professional & Business Women's Club (including the Juneau chapter), Juneau Woman's Club, Alaska Federation of Women's Clubs, Democratic Women's Club, and various other local committees and organizations.The papers from these organizations include correspondence, membership lists, club records, programs, and speeches. The pulse-beat of her life,however, was in the political arena. She waged various Territorial House and Senate campaigns throughout the years (1936-1956), and they are documented by speeches, voter lists, Democratic Divisional Convention papers, and correspondence illuminating her political views and attempts to further her campaigns. Much incoming correspondence is from prominent political contemporaries, such as Anthony Dimond and E.L. "Bob" Bartlett, as well as from many Southeastern Alaska political colleagues and concerned constituents.The collection of Jenne's legislative materials from her years as Territorial House Representative (1941-1944) contains personalized copies of legislative bills and documents discussing proposed legislation and various political issues of the day.

Crystal Snow Jenne also served as Juneau's Postmaster from 1944 tp1955. Included with the Postmaster materials is a certificate from President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointing Crystal to the position of Juneau Postmaster. Jenne advanced public knowledge about postal service in the Juneau area during her tenure as Postmaster by participating in local radio programs which alerted Juneau residents to Post Office special mailing policies and procedures; the scripts of these programs are included with the materials. House-to-house city delivery was initiated during her tenure. Newspaper clippings highlight her activities over the years as Juneau's Postmaster.

The Snow Family's theatrical careers are well documented by a large amount of materials, both from their performances in California and Washington (early -to-mid 1880s), and later when they performed in Juneau and the Yukon Territory (mid 1880s-1890s). Included are handwritten play scripts, accompanying musical scores, theater reviews, and newspaper clippings covering performances. The collection also includes the microfiche of George Snow's theater scrapbook, which contains clippings about performances and reviews, programs, and other memorabilia.

Writings: Folders 1-4

The bulk of this series consists of George Snow's manuscript The Discovery of the Klondike (also called The True Story of the Discovery of the Klondike). The cover letter to this manuscript is written by Willis Brandley of Sumner, Washington, apparently a writers' agent who assisted George in his attempts to get the manuscript published by the Saturday Evening Post; their attempts were unsuccessful. Also included in this subseries is a speech George wrote [1921?] to Y.O.O.P. members discussing his many years of service to the organization and his disapproval of growing dissention and a possible conspiracy to discredit his involvement with the club.

Boxes 3-4

History of the Yukon

Folders 1-24 (in 2 boxes): In January 1896, George Snow was authorized by the Yukon Order of Pioneers to compile a written history of the Yukon Valley watershed. He requested the memoirs of many of his early-day mining friends, among them, George Washington Carmack, L.N. "Jack" McQuesten, and many other prospectors. The majority of these memoirs are original, handwritten reports, many of which Snow edited and put into typescript form. These memoirs cover a span of years from 1871 to1897. Snow continued working on this history over the years, until his death in 1925; the history was never published. Also included are Y.O.O.P. letters and telegrams, several play scripts, poems, and other miscellaneous items.

(The manuscripts were sent to Evan Hill, a family friend of Crystal Snow Jenne and her daughter, Corrinne Kenway. He planned to edit and publish a Y.O.O.P. history. While in his possession, the papers were microfilmed by Dartmouth College and subsequently returned to the family. His introduction and notes remain in the files as received.)

(These two boxes of materials have been microfilmed by Dartmouth College--see Box 5 for the microfilm. Because this material is extremely fragile, the microfilm must be used for research.)

Folder 1. Typescript. Donation of Earl Pritchett on 11/25/74. This was received as a separate donation, provenance unclear. It is included with these papers because the majority of its contents was written by George Snow. Included is a resolution passed by the Yukon Order of Pioneers declaring August 17th as "Discovery Day" in honor of George Washington Carmack. Also, a report written by George Snow details Carmack's whereabouts and mining activities from 1889 to 1896, thus refuting an article written on Carmack by Henry Boursin in 1919, a copy of which is included in this file.

Club Activities

This series illustrates the extent of George Snow's involvement in club activities, which can be separated along two lines: veterans associations, such as the Elks, the Grand Army of the Republic, and the Federated Veterans (Folders 1-4) and the Yukon Order of Pioneers (Folders 5-12). Most prominent was his involvement with Y.O.O.P., of which he was a founding member. Examples of club documents include constitutions & by-laws, membership lists, rituals, club stationery, and meetings announcements.

Correspondence (Box 8, Folder 9 - Box 11)Personal correspondence makes up the largest portion of Anna Snow's records.

Much of the correspondence from her Ladies of the Golden North and Alaska Yukon Pioneers friends touches on aspects of the club's functions.

Writings

Anna Snow's papers contain a wide variety of personal writings, including poetry, journals of trips taken, and musical compositions. Alaska and the U.S.A., which was written in 1923 and which she published herself, is probably her most well-known composition. She also wrote the poem Awake! Alaska!,which was used as the opening ode at the Ladies of the Golden North meetings. Much of her poetry centers on Juneau (Mt. Juneau, Gastineau), Pioneer life (The Heardy [sic] Pioneer, Tragedy of the Yukon), or life in general (The Well-spent Life, Gossip, Wedding of the Dawn).

Club Activities

Anna Snow was one of the organizers of "The Ladies of the Golden North" (L.O.G.N.) club; it was officially organized on March 6, 1919 in Seattle and was the first the women's auxiliary to the Yukon Order of Pioneers, No. 2, then auxiliary to the Alaska-Yukon Pioneers, No. 1 (the A.Y.P. Lodge No. 1 group of pioneers in the Lower 48 split off from the Y.O.O.P. Lodge No. 2 after in-house bickering over various issues). Anna Snow was fondly called the "Little Mother" by the club members. Although she was heavily involved with her "Ladies of the Golden North" activities, she also was involved in the following organizations: Ridgely (Seattle) Rebekah Lodge (auxiliary to the Oddfellows Lodge); Women's Relief Corps. (auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic--Civil War veterans); Juneau Business & Professional Women's Club; and the American Legion auxiliary.

Political Files (Boxes 16-19)

Crystal Snow Jenne's lifelong interest in politics accounts for this voluminous amount of campaign and legislative material. Crystal's three campaigns for Territorial House of Representatives (1934, 1936, 1940) and her two campaigns for Territorial Senate (1938, 1956) produced a large amount of campaign material. She continued to receive and collect campaign/political materials even after her two terms as Juneau's Representative in the House (1941-1944).

Political Correspondence

Crystal Snow Jenne's political correspondence covers a range of years from 1932-1963, thus illustrating a life-long commitment of interest in the political arena. The majority of her 1930's correspondence concerns her involvement with the Democratic Divisional Committee, 1st Division of Southeast Alaska, along with letters from voters, newspaper editors, Arctic Native Brotherhood officers, and Congressional delegate Anthony Dimond. This correspondence well illustrates the network of political activity in Southeast Alaska, along with Crystal's increasing involvement in politics. Crystal served in the Territorial House from 1941-1944, and the correspondence from this period reflects the concerns of constituents, community leaders, and fellow politicians. The correspondence from the later period, the 1950's-1960's shows a continued interest in political issues, with many letters from Congressional delegate Bob Bartlett, various Territorial officials, and several national political organizations.

Legislative Materials

This subseries contains legislative materials from the mid-1930's through Crystal's second term as Representative in the Territorial House in 1944. One interesting document in this subseries is the "Proposed Legislative Bill for Legalization of the Territorial Dept. of Health" as proposed by the Territorial Public Health Advisory Council. This bill was introduced in the January 1941 legislature and discusses a plan to provide for an "adequate public health program in Alaska." Accompanying this bill, also, is a question and answer interview on health needs in Alaska. Crystal Snow Jenne was a fervent advocate of public health programs in Alaska.

George and Anna Snow, along with their daughter, Crystal Snow Jenne, were all extremely active in both the Pioneers of Alaska and the Alaska-Yukon Pioneers organizations and their auxiliaries. Crystal was president of the Pioneers of Alaska Auxiliary No. 6, Juneau Chapter in 1937. Both George and Anna Snow were founding members of the Y.O.O.P.(of which the A.Y.P. was later an off-shoot) and the Ladies of the Golden North (auxiliary to the A.Y.P.), respectively. These club materials are jointly listed under all three family members because of the inter-related capacities in which the Snow's served in these organizations, and because these materials were received together and are not easily separated.

Theatre Items and Play Scripts (Boxes 26 - 30)

George Snow was active in theatre in California while pursuing a career in mining. While in California, he met Anna Edes Rablen and they married in 1881. She shared his talent for acting, and, along with George's brother, Joe, they performed in California, the Territory of Washington, and Victoria, B.C. The Snow Family was recruited to Juneau by Herman Hart and James "Slim Jim" Winn to perform at the new Juneau Opera House, which was being constructed by Hart and William McPhee of Hart & Co. George and Anna Snow, along with their two children, Monte and Crystal, arrived in Juneau on April 24, 1887 to begin what was to be a temporary performance stint at the Juneau Opera House. Since the new opera house was not completed by the time of the Snows' arrival, they performed their first show in Juneau at the Palace Theatre, Rip Van Winkle on April 28, 1887. George Snow retained his interest in mining and made two trips into the Yukon (1888 and 1892) while Anna and the children remained in Juneau. In 1894, Anna and the children accompanied George over the Chilkoot Pass, eventually settling in Circle City in 1895-1896 where they built an opera house and continued performing as a family.
