- S’Klallam and Chemakum Indian tribes on Olympic Peninsula when Jarman settled there in 1848-52 (skagitriverjournal.com)
We spun this story off from the William “Blanket Bill” Jarman biography in order to address the considerable confusion and contradiction in various accounts about the tribes present on the Olympic Peninsula when Jarman settled there temporarily, off and on, in the period 1848-52. The contradictions were present in both the contemporary U.S. Government documents of that time, private writing later in the century and books by various historians between then and now. In our review, we will also explain the genealogy of Alice, Jarman’s wife and companion for the next three decades. She and the Indians that Jarman met in that period helped shape both his life and the legends about him.

Perseus (the Hero) may be the champion not only of Andromeda but also of unnamed stars as well. The top two, Mirfak (Alpha) and Algol (Beta) have proper names, and then the list stops until we arrive at number 10, a fourth magnitude star called “Atik” and Bayer’s “Omicron” star. Fainter yet is number 12 in brightness, mid-fourth magnitude Menkib (Bayer’s “Xi”).
