Notes Married:
- In a letter written by Jack to his family, he wrote, "I don't suppose you boys will think I did very well, when I tell you I have a full-blood Alaska Indian wife (I named her Kate), but I never expected to see a white woman again, so I took the best the country afforded, and we have a large family of bright children whom I dearly love." Katherine was among the very first Athabascans to marry an Ammerican, and as the wife of the senior trader, she played an important role in integrating the white and Native cultures. Many of the Native women who married white men were scorned as were some of the white men they married. These men were called "squaw men," a rude term which has persisted into the 1990's.
