Rollin W. Maxam album of photo postcards from North Dakota
Manuscripts
This album contains 161 real photo postcards (157 were produced from images taken by Rollin W. Maxam) of rural scenes in North Dakota during the early decades of the 20th century, approximately 1901-approximately 1915. Images depict scenes of farming, ranching, homesteads, railroads, a rodeo, harvesting equipment, livestock, trappers, hunting, and individuals (including members of Maxam's family). Most of the images have captions printed on the front of the cards and 94 of the postcards have captions written by Maxam, on verso. The captions, usually quite detailed, provide contextual information about the buildings, individuals, town, topographic feature or event portrayed in the image. Most of the images were taken in or near Schafer, North Dakota and surrounding locations in McKenzie County, but there are images of other North Dakota towns throughout the state.
