Hudson Stuck
Hudson Stuck was an Anglican priest, educator, and mountain climber best known for co-leading the first successful ascent of Denali (Mount McKinley) in 1913. Born in London in 1863, he later moved to the United States, where he became an advocate for Indigenous rights and worked extensively in Alaska as an Episcopal missionary. Stuck wrote several books about his experiences in Alaska, including "Ten Thousand Miles with a Dog Sled" and "The Ascent of Denali," which documented his mountaineering adventures. His work combined a passion for the outdoors with a deep commitment to the people and culture of Alaska.
