U OF A STUDENT NEEDS INFORMATION
ABOUT POET SAM DUNHAM FOR THESIS
Ever hear of San Dunham . . .
or read any of his poems?
Janelle Proctor, a graduate
student in English at the Uni
versity of Alaska, is trying to
track down information on the
early Alaskan poet and his
works.
Dunham, who was in north
ern Alaska in 1897-98 with the
department of labor and in
1899-1900 as a special agent for
the 12th census, wrote exten
sively during his Alaskan tra
vels.
PINKHAMS BUY
HOME IN EAST
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Pink
ham, former Palmerites, write
that they have purchased a
new home in Ringoes, New
Jersey, on a rural road with 50
acres of corn and hayland ac
ross the road, and 40 acres of
corn on the farm to the rear of
their lot.
The Pinkhams say they en
joy the rural setting, but are
close to their schools and to
shopping areas. Lewis is teach
ing the seventh and eighth
grades in Ringoes, and Lillian
is teaching fifth grade in a
neighboring school.
Chuck and Gail Eva Brown
visited them this summer while
honeymooning in the East.
Lewis has enrolled as a stu
dent pilot and has soloed in a
“Champ.”
The Pinkhams say they
would enjoy letters or visits
from their Alaskan friends.
Their address is Box 99, Rin
goes, New Jersey.
Oregon has two rivers and
two towns named after the
His verses were published in
many national newspapers,
such as the New York Sun, the
San Francisco Examiner, and
the Illustrated London News.
He is also the author of a vol
ume of verse entitled “The
Goldsmith of Nome.”
Mrs. Proctor and Dr. Minnie
Wells, chairman of her thesis
committee, hope to unearth
other examples of Dunham’s
writing in files of Alaskan
newspapers and in the mem
ories of Alaskan pioneers who
might remember the poet’s
verses. Dunham, who presented
his work “as appeal from the
tax-burdened and unrepresent
ed people of Alaska to the gov
ernment at Washington for the
relief from the wrongs which
they have borne too patiently
for twenty years” (to quote his
own words), is inevitably of in
terest to those who wish to
collect and preserve as much
of the early history of the state
as possible.
Mrs. Proctor and Dr. Wells
would appreciate any assist
ance in locating more of Dun
ham’s works. They can be
reached by telephone or writ
ing the Department of English,
University of Alaska, College,
Alaska.
