Samuel J. Parker was the son of the Reverend Samuel Parker, a Presbyterian missionary who traveled extensively in the Oregon Country. Like his father Samuel J. Parker also traveled extensively, including stints in South America and the west coast of North America. Parker was an avid reader and scholar of Native American studies. As a result, he penned these three letters to James G. Swan on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. Swan was one of the author of several books, including contributions to the Smithsonian Institution's series of studies in ethnology.
