u. S. ARMY ENGINEERS OBSERVE
IS7TH YEAR OS SATURDAY, JUNE IG
Engineer Day on Saturday,
June 16, marks the 187th anni
versary of the U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
It is the 93rd anniversary of
the Corps in Alaska. Present
day Army Engineers can trace
their history from 1775 when
an Act passed !>y the Continen
tal Congress of the Thirteen
Colonies provided for one Chief
Engineer of the Grand Army.
Army Engineers in Alaska
trace their history to 1869 when
Captain Raymond arrived fresh
from West Point to establish
that the boundaries of the new
ly purchased territory did, in
deed, enclose Fort Yukon and
that the British in the shape of
the Hudson Bay Company were
in trespass. Thus he single
handedly and without blood
shed secured the Fort and
hoisted the flag.
Recent engineer work in Al
aska has been characterized by
mammoth projects for military
defense requiring an outlay of
nearly $1.5 billion since 1946.
This w'as not the kind of activ
ity that characterized their ef
forts in the earlier years. Like
Captain Raymond, the men
who were here soon after, were
on their own depending on a
few tools and instruments and
their wits to carry out assign
ments. They blazed many of
> Sfr JftJftJfr ift /ft Jlr h >■
the trials. Later they helped
to turn the trials into wagor
roads and a railroad. The
Glenn and Richardson high
ways were named after pioneer
Army Engineers.
In the gold rush era. the>
looked for better navigation
channels for the ships to use
that suddenly had converged or
Alaska. Later they helped tc
survey and dredge channel;
and harbors in Alaska as the}
were needed.
In the summer of 1941, the
combat engineers started ar
area office in Anchorage part!}
under the jurisdiction of the
Alaska Military Departmerv
Commander and partly unde!
the control of the Seattle Dis
trict, Corps of Engineers. The
dual control held throughoui
the war.
i The Alaska District, formed
in 1946, carried on the militarv
mission oriented to rehabilita
tion and defense. It left the
civilian oriented program tc
the Seattle District for admin
istration unitl 1949. The defense
construction was the mail
work of the District from ther
on.
A District observance of En
gineer Day will include the
awarding of service pins to em
ployees with 10 to 20 years oi
service.
