Visual Materials

A collection of 45 photographs (glass plate negatives, lantern slides, and copy prints) of Chiricahua? Apache people at an encampment in Arizona, approximately 1899. Images include Apache men, women, and children in a line outside a federal agency building in San Carlos, Arizona; a woman and man displaying baskets; Apache men standing in a line next to a U.S. Army soldier; brush huts and adobe buildings; Apache men riding horses and holding guns (probably scouts). Three images show Apache men and a boy in poses for the Devil Dance, wearing headdresses, masks, and blankets, and holding weapons. One group portrait depicts Native American and Anglo men and women posed together. There are also five copy photographs of the collector, Reverend Berry Edmiston, and his wife Ednah Lee Edmiston, seen in youth and in old age, including one image of them standing outside their Riverside, California home, approximately 1890s. Box 1 contains copy prints of all the glass plate negatives, and 17 of 30 lantern slides. Some lantern slides are duplicates of the glass plate images.

Mary Austin letters

Manuscripts

These seven letters are to members of the Watterson family of Inyo County, California, including one letter to Mark Q. Watterson, Inyo County Bank owner. He and his brother, Wilfred, got caught up in the California Water Wars. They were both financial and civic leaders who had opposed the Los Angeles Aqueduct and in 1927 their bank collapsed and they were indicted for embezzlement, later tried, and convicted on thirty-six counts. The other six letters are to Mark's sister Elsie Watterson. The letters deal with the water issue, Owens Valley, Inyo Valley, the aqueduct, Boulder Dam, and Mark and Wilfred's incarceration at San Quentin. Mary Austin is offering to help the Watterson family in any way she can and offers to write something about the situation. She also talks about writing her autobiography. There are also two postcards with images of Mary Austin's house.
