Arthur Stanley Tulloch Photograph Collection, 1900-1935
Scope and Contents
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 B. Branson (initials jb throughout the guide), added substantial information to the guide, including personal names and locations, with the aid of Iliamna-Lake Clark elders and others. This note is included with the individual items for which he gave us information in ArchivesSpace.

Biographical Note
Arthur Stanley Tulloch 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 left Alaska but returned between 1906-1913 and the late 1920's. He was married to Jean Selby in Sept. of 1919.
He may have been in the Lake Clark Area in 1913 when Walter R. Crane, Dean of Pennsylvania State University School of Mines, came to do assessment work at the Kasna Creek copper mine. Two letters in the collection (1911 and 1927) indicate that Tulloch prospected in the Lake Clark-Iliamna region with J.W. Walker, Otis “Doc” Dutton and Joe Kackley. He died at his home in Grand Marais Michigan March 14, 1957 at age 84.
