Daniel Willard Streeter

Daniel Willard Streeter (2 Nov 1883 - was an American hunter, adventurer and author active in the 1920s.

There seems to be little information available about Mr. Streeter's life other than that contained in his books, which include "Denatured Africa" from 1926, "Camels!" from 1927 which describes a hunting safari in Sudan near the Blue Nile and the Dinder River, and "An Arctic Rodeo" from 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 on the schooner Ernestina (see:^[1]) 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 Eskimos in their delicate kayaks, the problems navigating, the interactions with and life styles of Eskimos, and the Danish government officials stationed in Greenland.

He married Gertrude Van Dolfsen Norton on May 30, 1908 in Buffalo, Erie County, New York; who was the daughter of Porter Norton, 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).
