‎Lafayette IN Milton IN Chicago IL Hamilton OH Lewistown Butte Missoula Great Falls MT Seattle & Tacoma WA: Homer Willard Williams 1906-1937. Two vols. Oblong 8vo. 8.25 x 5.5 in.; Oblong 4to. 11.5 x 7.25 in. 100 pp unpaginated on thick brown paper stock; 116 pp unpaginated on thick black paper. First album with 188 original photographs sized from 1 x 1.5 in. up to 4.5 x 6.5 in. 1 cyanotype 3 Real Photo Postcards 2nd album with 257 original photographs sized from 2 x 3 up to 4.5 x 6.5 in. including 1 composite 2 x 10 in. panoramic photograph 15 Real Photo Postcards almost all photos in both albums mounted directly on the pages a few with corners and nearly all photos containing neatly lettered captions beside or in the margins in black ink in the first album; and all with extensive captions and descriptive text in white ink for the 2nd album. First album in original brown cloth post-binder gilt lettering on front cover sewn with brown silk braid at gutter margin minor edgewear fraying minor bumping to corners 1 photo removed; 2nd album in contemporary limp calf slide post binder couple photos w/ minor tear 1 w/ small loss wear & loss to calf on covers scuffing old tape repair to front fore-edge still excellent sharp photographs with strong contrast in both albums. These fantastic albums offer invaluable visual and manuscript records of the career of a young Milton Indiana farmer’s son Homer Williams 1884-1977 working as a Civil Engineer on the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Electrification project. The first album opens with photos of the Mechanics Building Fowler Hall and interiors of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity fraternity brothers camping with friends & family visits to the family farm in Milton IN and travels along the White Water Valley near Milton including photos of the large and prosperous Victorian family home purchased by Willard Williams 1853-1921 in 1894. Of particular interest are the series of photographs devoted to the Mechanics’ Burning Parade held April 16th 1910 which was a raucous and rowdy celebration marking the end of mechanical engineering classes for the year and featured a fake papier mache corpse paraded through the campus and later burned in a drunken bacchanal and many grotesque floats and costume mourners with parade marching band. These fascinating photos include those of a float representing a Wright Brothers airplane on bicycles fraternity brothers dressed in devil costumes and an exceedingly early image of a group of fraternity brothers dressed in what would later become the accepted costume of the KKK inspired by the wildly popular book and play The Clansman by Thomas Dixon and illustrations by Arthur Keller. This costume would not become standard KKK garb until after the cultural impact of D.W. Griffith’s Birth of a Nation five years later and the resurgence of the Klan at Stone Mountain GA at the same time. Due to the riotous nature of the Mechanics’ Burning party Purdue canceled the tradition after 1912 and incorporated some of the traditions into what would become known as the Purdue Circus. The first album finishes with a number of photographs of the Southern Cotton Oil Building Cyphers Incubator Building erected in the summer and fall of 1910 in Chicago and designed by noted Chicago architect A.S. Alschuler. In addition Williams has included photos of the Champion Coated Paper Company factory in Hamilton OH he worked on prior to studying at Purdue in 1906 and finally closes with images of the C.M. & St. Paul Railway Passenger station in Lewistown MT after he contracts as an engineering draftsman for the company. The second album begins with photos of the young Civil Engineer Homer and his wife Jessie Williams 1882-1942 climbing the Judith Mountains northeast of Lewistown; scenes around Missoula MT; Homer leading a C.M. & St. Paul Railway survey party from Deer Lodge to Janney a Butte Anaconda & Pacific Railway General Electric boxcab locomotive No. 55; photos of the B.A. & P. Ry Northern Pacific and C.M. & St. Paul Ry in silver Bow Canyon photos of The Olympian No. 16 Milwaukee Road passenger train just prior to electrification from steam in 1915; birds-eye views of Butte and a very sharp panoramic of Butte MT from Big Butte in 1915. He has also included images of the Bitter Root Mountains taken from the top of a freight train the head engine an excellent sharp photo of The Columbian No. 18 crossing the Black Tail Deer Creek viaduct views of Glacier National Park and of the Rainbow Falls Dam and Montana Power Company power plant at Great Falls MT; a dramatic series of photographs showing a team of steam locomotives pushing a rotary snow plow through the railroad tunnel and pass at East Portal MT in February 1916; as well as images of the Columbia Gardens amusement park in Butte MT. By 1917 Homer had moved with his family to Seattle WA where he worked as Chief Draftsman for the C.M. & St. Paul Railway and he has included photos of the Electrification Project Drafting staff picnicking on Green River cannery ships in Lake Union Snoqualmie Falls surveys in the Cascades the Rainbow Division Parade in Seattle in 1919 following World War I as well as views from the West Seattle Ferry Lake Crescent and Lake Chelan along with views of their homes in Seattle and then Tacoma after he had risen to assistant superintendent of the Motive Power Steam department and later Master Mechanic of the C.M. St. Paul & Pacific RR Co. Many different photographs of electric locomotives steam locomotivesthe electrification project substations as well as the dramatic photo of the Miner’s Hall in Butte bombed by dissident Western Federation of Miners union members who supported the I.W.W. in June 1914 and resulted in the banning of both the WFM and the IWW from the Anaconda Company mines. The tremendous electrification project was initiated by C.M. & St. Paul Railway in 1914 due to winter temperatures which dropped to 40 degrees below zero making it challenging for steam locomotives to generate sufficient steam so electrification offered an answer with abundant hydroelectric power in the mountains and a ready source of copper out of the Anaconda mines. From 1914-1916 the Milwaukee Road implemented a 3000 volt DC overhead system between Harlowton MT and Avery ID over 438 miles. Pleased with the result they further electrified the route between Othello and Tacoma WA from 1917 to 1920 resulting in the largest such project in the world not exceeded until the Pennsylvania Railroads efforts in the 1930s.
