  • 9707-K18. Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) is best known as the explorer who discovered the South Pole in 1911. This photograph was taken five years earlier at the end of his first polar exploration, which was when he became the first person to navigate the northwest passage. Amundsen telegraphed the success of his expedition to the world from the army’s northernmost wire station at Fort Egbert near Eagle, Alaska (on the Yukon river at the Canadian border). The photographer, Clarence Andrews, was stationed at Eagle as a customs agent. In Amundsen’s My life as an Explorer (1927), pg. 58, he relates “We arrived at Fort Egbert on December 5, 1905. I remember that the thermometer was sixty degrees below zero. Fort Egbert was the northernmost post of the United States army and at the end of the telegraph line. I was greeted with flattering enthusiasm by the commander at the post, who overpowered me with congratulations and with invitations to make a protracted stay as his guest. I did not feel that I could do this, but I did accept with deep gratitude his offer to send out my telegrams. I wrote out about a thousand words which were at once put on the wire. By an odd freak of circumstance, they had no sooner been sent than the cold somewhere on the line broke the wires, and it was not until a week later that they were repaired and I received confirmation that my telegram had reached the outer world. ... During this week of waiting and the subsequent weeks of recuperation I was the guest of Mr. Frank N. Smith, the resident manager of the Alaska Commercial Company, to whom I shall ever be grateful for his hospitality. I left Fort Egbert in February of 1906.” Amundsen’s boat, the Gjoa, was locked in the ice east of Point Barrow for the winter. In July the boat was freed from the ice and sailed down the Bering Strait to San Francisco. Amundsen gave the boat to the City of San Francisco, and it was installed in Golden Gate Park as a historical souvenir.<br />

  • 9336-(#2)  Frank Morgan (1905-1985)<br />
Frank Morgan was a rancher in Harney County, and was Bill Brown’s last buckaroo boss in 1932-1933. <br />
This photo was published  on pg. 106 of Gray, Edward “William Bill Brown ...”. His biography is on pg. 91-92. <br />
An oral history of Frank Morgan is in the Harney County Public Library oral project #70.<br />
This photo session produced three different negatives of Frank Morgan, two in cowboy attire and 1 in street clothes, and were taken about the mid 1920’s. 5x7” Nitrate film.<br />
(biography posted by High Desert Museum:) Born in 1905 on the family ranch at Post, Crook County, central Oregon, Frank Morgan spent a lifetime buckarooing for ranches across the High Desert. It is clear he wanted the photographer to focus on his silver inlaid spade bit, rawhide reins and California style spurs. In this proud pose it identifies him as a buckaroo, a horseman with traditions beginning in California over a century earlier. Still remembered today by ranch families and aging buckaroos across the High Desert, a lifetime on horseback ended at the age of 80, when Frank was bucked off of a horse while roping at a branding.

  • 9336-LN05. Elizabeth Badroads (Cayuse and Walla Walla) and Francis Shillal (Cayuse, Walla Walla and Umatilla) wedding photo. The couple were married at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Burns, Oregon, on September 8, 1929. In the newspaper article written about their marriage, the couple said they were 19 years old, however Elizabeth was actually 16. Both had received their education at St. Andrews mission, a Catholic Indian school on the Umatilla river. Their wedding happened on the week of the annual Harney County fair and rodeo. Umatilla Indians had for many years joined the local Paiute Indians in the parade, events and dances. <br />
The bride was referred to as Princess Elizabeth Badroads by the newspaper reporter,  as she was a princess in the Pendleton Round-up Indian beauty pageant that year. Her father was Jim Badroads, one of the organizers of the event, and her sister Rosie later won the contest. Jim Badroads (1865-1933) was Chief of the Cayuse Indians on the Umatilla reservation, having succeeded Chief Captain Sumpkin in 1927.<br />
Elizabeth explained that the name Badroads (kapshish ishkit) was given to her grandfather by the Indians because his home was in a canyon and the only road leading to it was rough and difficult to get through.<br />
Once married, she became Elizabeth B. Shillal, using the middle initial B to prevent confusion with a cousin living on the Umatilla reservation, Elizabeth Pool Shillal.<br />
Francis Shillal was the son of Thomas Shillal (1883-1932).  His father raised horses on the family farm near Stanfield. <br />
Like most Indian weddings at the time, there was not an official wedding license for their marriage, even though it was performed in a church by a Catholic priest. Indian culture considered marriage to be a public recognition of a new family, and while relatives and friends may participate in feasts and bring gifts, there usually was not a specific ceremony as such.
