Although the exact year is unknown, Eureka's long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, NY, where the company still resides today. Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for 19th-century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.
The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and early 1940s. The company even fabricated and erected a series of IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton, housing thousands of IBM salesmen during the company's annual stockholders meeting, which had outgrown its previous locale. With the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.
In 1960, renowned explorer Sir Edmund Hillary used Eureka's new and innovative Draw-Tite tent--with its practical, freestanding external frame--in a Himalayan expedition to Nepal (Hillary had climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest only six years earlier). In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants during the first all-American Mt. Everest Expedition, where explorers braved fierce 60-plus mph winds and temperatures reached below -20F.
Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s, targeting it to backpackers and families. The first to employ the StormShield design, the lightweight, self-supporting backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents in the industry, with sales reaching over 1 million by its 10-year anniversary. Eureka tents have also traveled as companions on other historic expeditions, including the American Women's Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent years, Eureka designed and donated tents to Eric Simonson and his team. The group took two historic research expeditions to Mt. Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history by finding the remains of George Mallory, but the overall mystery remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues, the team found several historical artifacts that are now on display at the Smithsonian.

Great Tent! Eureka Grand Manan 9 : Eureka! Grand Manan 9 - Tent (sleeps 4-5)
The Eureka Grand Manan 9 provides excellent ventilation, and it has window covers that offer privacy without restricting air flow. The privacy is essential at campgrounds where you have neighbors. The pole sleeves do make it slower to set up the tent, but the sleeves are there for a reason. Security, stability. When you look at photos of true mountaineering tents you will see that they all have pole sleeves rather than clips to secure the tent to the poles. The sleeves help stabilize the poles to keep your tent upright in heavy winds and heavy-weight drenching rains. After the storm you will be grateful that you had pole sleeves as you observe your neighbors staring aghast at their collapsed pole-clipped tents. The Grand Manan's mesh windows have covers that tie on rather than zip on. They will not retain interior warmth on cold days, but this is consistent with many tents on the market these days that have entire walls made of mesh; however, the other tents do not offer privacy covers over the mesh. The rain fly covers all the openings including the windows to offer a layer of warmth just as other tents do. Remember to place a thin drop cloth underneath the tent next to the ground, and position it so the edges do not stick out from under the tent. I always use a heavier tarp inside the tent to cover the tent floor to protect it from boots, and to help keep it clean. Note that the photo of this tent's cousin, Grand Manan 7, is not correct. The rain fly cannot form an awning on the Grand Manan 7, at least not on the earliest versions of that model. Also, any tent manufacturer's estimate of how many people fit comfortably in any tent should be accepted with a grain of salt. Usually only one-half of that number of folks will fit comfortably, and 2 very young children count as 1 adult. I currently own 3 Eureka tents of various sizes, and I would buy the Grand Manan 9 again. (All of my tents have at least partial pole sleeves for stability.) I even recommended the Grand Manan 9 to a friend who was looking for family tent.
