Detailed Product Description

Seattle, 1936, 1st edition. 60+ pp, 6 photos. In August, 1919, David Whitcomb (Chief Soyp), President of Rainier National Park Company, and Thomas Martin (Tyee Paradise), General Manager, discussed of the idea of caching supplies at the Paradise Inn before the roads were blocked by snow and returning after the New Year with a group of friends.

Thus was born the Tribe of Soyp, and thus began February pilgrimages to the upper valleys of Mt Rainier. The Soyps (for 'Socks Outside Your Pants') were drawn from the Puget Sound elite. Members took Indian names during 'Tribal Councils.' Recruits were called Cheechakos; those who had completed one trip, Papooses; two trips, Tillicums; and three trips, Tyees.
 
Besides Whitcomb and Martin, members included the likes of Keith Bullitt, Asahel Curtis, Carl Gould, Everett Griggs, Paul Harper, Paul Sceva, Thomas Stimson, O.A. Tomlinson and Philip Weyerhaeuser. The attendance chart lists over sixty men attending outings from 1920 through 1936. Suede leather cover Near Fine-Fine.
