Alaska Territory -- Ketchikan 1909 cover from Edward Marsden to Amos Wells Not only an early Alaska cover, but a cover for correspondence between two prominent people. The Rev. Edward Marsden was a Canadian-American missionary and member of the Tsimshian nation who became the first Alaska Native to be ordained in the ministry. He was born in Metlakatla, BC. As a teenager, Marsden was one of the approximately 800 Tsimshians who undertook an epic canoe voyage in 1887 to found the dissident community of "New Metlakatla" on Annette Island in the very southeast of Alaska. The Presbyterian missionary Sheldon Jackson arranged for Marsden to attend the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania and then Marietta College in Ohio, making him the first Alaska Native to receive higher education in the "lower 48." During his education there, he joined the Presbyterian Church. In 1897 he became the first North American Indian to be licensed to preach in the U.S. Amos Russel Wells was a United States editor, author and professor. He graduated from Antioch College in 1883; was professor of Greek and geology at Antioch College 1883-1891 and from 1891 editor of the Christian Endeavor World, Boston- He was a voluminous author, no less than 63 titles being credited to his pen.
