REMARKS
of
Hon. Anthony J. Dimond
Delegate From Alaska
In The House of Represent
atives, Monday August 26,
1935.
Mr. Dimond. Mr. Speak
er, before the impress of
the circumstances surround
ing the tragic deaths of
Wiley Post and Will Rog
ers on the shores of the Arc
tic Ocean near Point Bar
row a few days ago is en
tirely erased from men’s
minds, it is only fair and on
ly just that praise should be
given where praise is due
to a brave people, and part
icularly a brave man, who
to date have been little
more than mentioned. I re
for to the Eskimos.
Little is known in the
United States of this val
ient yet kindly, smiling
and hospitable people. I
know them well and ad
mire them greatly.
Just recognition has been
given to the outstanding
work of Sgt. Stanley Mor
gan, in charge of the Army
radio station at Barrow,
who brought the dead bod
-iee of Post and Rogers from
the scene of the accident to
Barrow, and who gave to
the world a concise yet sub
stantial account of the trag
edy. Deserved tribute has
likewise been paid—and I
have join d in it to the best
of my ability—to Joe Cros
son, who, under unfavor
able conditions, (lew from
Fairbanks to Barrow and
brought the bodies of Post
an Rogers from Barrow to
Seattle. As I pointed out
some time ago, this flight
made by Crosson entitles
him to some more definite
and outstanding recogni
tion than he has yet receiv
ed.
But in all the thousands
of co umns that have been
printed in praise of the fam
ous men who are now dead
and in praise, also, of men
like Morgan and Crosson. I
have yet to see any word of
commendation for those
who are equally entitled to
praise—the Eskimos who
were at the scene of the
crash and the one Eskimo
who brought news of the
disaster to Barrow. They
are anonymous. They are
almost as unknown as the
Unknown Soldier. With
one exception no one has
troubled to determine their
individual names. The
newspapers occasionally re
fer to them as “Eskimos”
and let it go at that.
And yet we should re
member. before this all be-'
comes a vague recollection,
that the Eskimos played
their part as bravely, as du
tifully, and as cheerfully as
did any of .the others. As
soon as the plane hurtled in
to the shallow water of the
river, the Eskimos went to
the wreck and took out the
body of Will Rogers. Un
fortunately Rogers was
then dead, but had he been
alive the prompt action of1
the Eskimos would doubt
less have saved his life.
They were unable to re
move the body of Post be
f'lijp it was pinned in the
