Daniel Willard Streeter
Daniel Willard Streeter (2 November 1883 – 27 July 1964〔Date in ''Harvard Alumni Directory'', 1965..〕), S.B. Harvard College, 1907,〔"Daniel W. Streeter, Buffalo Weaving & Belting Co, Buffalo, N.Y." is listed among the ''Harvard College Class of 1907 Secretary's Fourth Report'', June 1917:493.〕 was an American hunter, adventurer and author active in the 1920s, who lived in Buffalo, New York.
Streeter was born in Highland Park, Lake County Illinois,〔(Daniel Willard Streeter )〕 the son of Harvey Benjamin Streeter and his wife Fannie Barton Streeter.〔''Harvard College Class of 1907 Secretary's Fourth Report'', June 1917:355.〕 He was educated at The Hill School, Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and after graduation from Harvard joined Buffalo Weaving & Belting Co, Buffalo, N.Y, becoming the firm's treasurer; thus he was described as "once a cotton manufacturer",〔"Dan Streeter, once a cotton manufacturer, is now a dilettante traveler and is,,, effusively, debonairly articulate about it." ''The Technology Review'' (M.I.T.) vol 30, no. 4 (1927) p. 233 (reviewing ''Denatured Africa'').〕 there seems to be little information available about Mr. Streeter's life other than a long list of club and society memberships, which suggest that he was a conscientious objector during World War I but claim memberships both in National Women's Suffrage League and Society for the Opposition of Women's Suffrage,〔''Harvard College Class of 1907 Secretary's Fourth Report'', June 1917:355f.〕 and material contained in his facetious travel books, which include ''Denatured Africa'' (1926), ''Camels!'' (1927), which describes a hunting safari in Sudan near the Blue Nile and the Dinder River, and ''An Arctic Rodeo'' (1929). All three books were published by G.P.Putnam's Sons (New York and London) and contain interesting period photography.
''Arctic Rodeo'' is about a trip sponsored by the publisher George Putnam on the schooner ''Ernestina''〔(1926 www.ernestina.org )〕 to the Arctic regions around Greenland and Baffin Bay. He describes the adventures of sailing on the crowded little ship, hunting in the Arctic with brave Inuit in their kayaks, the problems of navigating, the interactions with and lifestyles of Inuit, and the Danish government officials stationed in Greenland.
He married Gertrude Van Dolfson Norton on May 31, 1908 in Buffalo, New York;〔"Van Dolfson" in Census reports; "Van Doefalen" in ''Harvard College Class of 1907 Secretary's Fourth Report'', June 1917, apparently a misreading of Streeter's handwriting〕 she was the daughter of Porter Norton,〔(Daniel Willard Streeter )〕 granddaughter of Jeannette Phelps, great-granddaughter of Oliver Phelps III; who was the son of Oliver Leicester Phelps (the son of Oliver Phelps) and Elizabeth "Betsey" Law Sherman (the granddaughter of American founding father Roger Sherman).
