Scope and content
ca. 1934. On September 3, 1934, Dr. Joseph Huggins of Philadelphia was photographed outside the old granary building located at the newly reconstructed Fort Nisqually, which had been moved to Point Defiance Park. Dr. Huggins, known as "little Joe" when he was growing up at the Fort, was the youngest son of Edward Huggins and lived in the Factor's House when his father ran the post. He remembered a childhood lived at a slower pace, with time after chores, reading, checkers and good conversation. Dr. Huggins, a dentist, was in town for the formal dedication of Fort Nisqually. He stayed for a month visiting with old friends. (E.T. Short's column T. Times 8-18-1934)
