  • 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.

A lot of houses on the east side of the street were built in 1941 and 1942, so this is just before that. This is in front of Bill Naito's house - during the anti-Japanese hysteria after 12/7/41, as a high school sophomore, he went door-to-door on the street getting signatures on a petition to get permission to keep the families ceramics store open.) ("The photo is also interesting because Lombardy Poplars were such a popular street tree for such a long time. They were the trees originally planted in the Park blocks (along with the elms). They would grow to be 120' tall in 20 years - but invade pipes, buckle sidewalks, etc - and die young. Oh well - now you never see them - they're pretty much banned.")

  • 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 />
