[US Coast and Geodetic Survey – History of Science – Case Western Reserve University] Yates, Charles Colt; Pritchett, Henry SmitABAA

Archive of Charles Colt Yates Engineer and Captain with the US Coast & Geodetic Survey in the US Europe and the Philippines 1870s–1940s

1940réf. List3440United States France and Germany 1940. Approximately 469 total items. Fifty-nine pieces of loose correspondence one with four photographs affixed. In large letter album approximately 199 pieces of written material: 118 pieces of incoming correspondence twenty-one drafts of outgoing correspondence and sixty other. 139 photographs: nine cabinet cards thirty-three smaller mounted or framed photos eleven CDVs or tintypes nineteen in small photo album sixty-six loose photographs and one real photo postcard. Eight pieces of loose miscellaneous written material totaling sixty-four pages; nine forms applications etc; forty-five clippings generally affixed to notebook pages; and ten pieces of unsorted ephemera. Written material generally dating from about 1891–1928. Photographic material and ephemera generally dating from about 1870s or earlier to 1943. Letter album with covers detached and damage to edges of paper very good plus; other material generally excellent. Overall very good to excellent. Charles Colt Yates 1868–1944 was born in Binghamton New York. He received a BS in Physics and an MS in Civil Engineering from the Case School of Applied Science now Case Western Reserve University before joining the US Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1892. Yates’ work with the USC&GS took him around the US and abroad; his work included observing the earth’s surface density in Hawaii; surveying Lake Pontchartrain the Alaska–Yukon border and the Aleutian Islands; surveying and ship-building in the Philippines and Hong Kong; and surveying the oyster bars in Maryland and Delaware. Offered here is a large collection of photographic and written material belonging to Yates. The photographs are almost entirely family shots. Subjects are generally identified verso by their initials and include Yates; his grandparents James Dennison Colt and Abigail Weber; his parents Walter Lloyd Yates and Charlotte Colt; and especially his brother Alonzo Colt Yates sister-in-law Elizabeth Deming and their children Evelyn and Lloyd Deming Yates. The written material relates to Yates’ work and includes incoming correspondence particularly work assignments sent by the Survey’s various superintendents; Yates’ drafts of outgoing correspondence; field expense forms—providing a look at the more quotidian activities of the Survey’s researchers—and departmental circulars; resumes and applications; notes and article drafts; and newspaper clippings. The latter generally relate to either the 1916 controversy around Woodrow Wilson’s scientific appointments particularly of E. Lester Jones or to the 1916 and 1928 Merchant Marine Acts. The merchant marine issue preoccupied Yates as several of his letters and articles concern the subject; other of his articles are an 1898 “Report on the Establishment of a Self Registering Tide Gauge at Morehead City N.C” and a 1914 report on oceanography. Early in his career Yates apparently wanted out of the Survey writing to several different people seeking a teaching position and explaining that his “desire to become a teacher and ultimately a professor is so great that I am willing to make a considerable sacrifice” in terms of pay July 16 1896. Of course there would have been upsides to leaving the Survey as working conditions at the time were far from ritzy; for instance fellow officer Alex S. Christie wrote of the employee at the Sandy Hook tidal station in New Jersey: “Where now located on the west side of this sand spit the observer is completely isolated and threatens to resign. He has no love for nature and no resources within himself. I could be very happy there.” July 26 1892 Similarly Superintendent William Ward Duffield attempted to convince Yates that the conditions on the Alaska-Yukon boundary survey were more tolerable than he might think: “It might pertinently be added here that the American Transportation and Trading Company has a number of stations on the Yukon and carries a large stock of goods including drugs etc. at points near the boundary. The country is better supplied with means of existence and communication than was supposed sometime ago.” February 29 1896 As references for a teaching position Yates offered his Case classmate and highly decorated electrical engineer Comfort Avery Adams then at Harvard and Case president Cady Staley. Yates corresponded occasionally with Staley including helping him with research by among other things giving him honest advice on the use of a theodolite: “From a personal experience: to approach a Vertical Circle without ever having seen one and having had it explained by a textbook is not only awkward but an embarrassing experience and perhaps even a disastrous experience when the proper approach of the level correction is reached.” February 24 1897 Another Case affiliate with whom Yates corresponded was Albert A. Michelson then at the University of Chicago. Michelson is best known for the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment a test of the speed of light performed at Case with Edward W. Morley and the assistance of Comfort Adams then a student. Yates had sent Michelson an observation of some kind—though he did not save the draft of this outgoing letter—and Michelson responds with several pages of reasoning: “I scarcely think it likely that refraction is the cause of the color observed – but even if this were the case it would not help matters much. The angle subtended by the spectrum could certainly not be less than 10” if a consistent color could be appreciated . Nevertheless I would recommend that the color phenomenon be carefully observed and recorded – for it may throw light on other matters of importance – even tho not of immediate practical use.” March 8 1896 Yates also kept up with his Case classmates; several letter drafts in the archive are addressed “dear Classmates” and seem to be part of a semi-regular correspondence where the former classmates would update each other on their careers and lives though only Yates’ outgoing mail is represented. Yates writes a particularly interesting letter to his classmates describing his time in the Philippines and Hong Kong the surveying of which had become part of the USC&GS’s duties after the US assumed control of the territory: “I was just leaving for a surveying cruise along the south west coast of Samar Island the island General ‘Jakey’ Smith and brother officers made so famous by their approved ‘water cure’ and other ancient methods of obtaining information from the natives. We had an excellent Thanksgiving’s dinner in Jakey’s former residence the ‘bungalow’ at Tacloban and although many of his officers were still there I feel quite certain that water was not mentioned but their liquid method of obtaining information was probably even more effective. No doubt the natives of Samar are well subdued at least we judged so from the fact that when they saw any of our boats put off from the ship they immediately abandoned house and home to the old and crippled. Apparently Americans are to be trusted in reference to these two classes. Disappearing streaks of red skirts indicating retreating females were sometimes seen but our male ‘little brown brother’ was rarely discovered even on a run. This was quite a change from our previous experiences in other parts of the Philippines which had not received the benefit of the same intimate contact with our methods of civilization. In fact we were usually accompanied along the beach by a swarm of men women and children of all sizes and ages who though always polite and gentle were a nuisance sometimes through unintentionally getting in the way of our work.” October 15 1903 The “water cure” was a form of torture similar to waterboarding often used by American soldiers during the Philippine-American War. General Smith was infamous not for use of the “water cure” but for his orders during the Pacification of Samar to execute everyone over age ten and turn the island into a “howling wilderness”; during the campaign several thousand civilians were killed. Later Yates explained to his classmates that he had had a nervous breakdown while stationed in Asia following the death of his only child at five months old and was sent home January 20 1907. He was assigned to survey oyster fields for the Maryland Shell Fish Commission which he described as “surrounded by politicians as our work seems to be the political issue of the State”. In fact at this time Yates seems to have become more interested in politics especially the Merchant Marine acts mentioned earlier. He sent out his article titled “By-products and Relative Values of a Merchant Marine” to several potential publishers and also corresponded with Congressmen regarding the act including Jesse D. Price of Maryland Frank P. Woods of Iowa and Joshua W. Alexander of Missouri. He wrote to the latter who was the 1916 act’s sponsor: “If you succeed in passing the Bill you will deserve oceans of credit and even if you fail you will have gained the sincere admiration of those who have studied the subject and know the great aggregate of vested shipping interests both foreign and domestic which are fighting you so hard because they fear the results to their personal interest of the founding of a real American Marine which would be brought about by the passage of your Bill.” May 16 1916 Yates was also interested in the 1928 Act which concerned shipbuilding—having built ships for the Survey in Hong Kong and Wisconsin—and wrote an article that year giving suggestions for it. Otherwise the more recent contents of the archive are mainly ephemera of Yates’ brother diplomat Alonzo Colt Yates 1864–1950 including an ID card and passport. Overall a unique collection of an employee of the US government’s first and for a long time only scientific agency the archive provides a look at the agency’s activities at home and across the globe. It also provides some history of the early days of the Case School of Applied Science especially the activities of early alumni and faculty. unknown books

[Western Americana] [National Parks] [Blackfeet] Hileman, TJ; Haynes, Frank J; Jacobs, Frank, et al T JABAA

Album of 132 Photographs showing Scenery from Western American National Parks with Many Realphoto Postcards by Noted Photographers including Blackfeet Photographs by T.J. Hileman

1920réf. List515Various Places 1920. Oblong folio cloth over cardstock 15 x 11 inches. Photographs and realphoto postcards most measuring around 5 x 3 1/2 inches mounted to pages. The system of national parks was created at first in a somewhat piecemeal fashion with the Department of the Interior holding responsibility for establishing each park individually. Chief White Calf of the Blackfeet famously negotiated the sale of the bulk of the lands that would form Glacier National Park in 1895 with the agreement being that the US Government would allow for Blackfoot hunting Chief White Calf’s son Chief Two Guns White Calf would later travel to Washington in protest of the government’s subsequent actions. The establishment of the National Park Service in 1916 coincided roughly with the dawn of American motor tourism. This album dates from that early period of National Park recreation and bears evidence as to the recreation that happened around the early part of the century. The album shows scenery in three national parks by noted photographers including some iconic photographs of Yellowstone by Frank J. Haynes first taken in the and several scarce images of Blackfoot attributed to the noted photographer T.J. Hileman who was the official photographer of Glacier National Park during this period. The album begins with twenty-eight photographs by Haynes who printed copies of his classic Yellowstone photographs first taken in the 1890s from his St. Paul Minnesota studio. The next group shows twenty realphoto postcards of Mt. Rainier National Wilderness Area taken by Frank Jacobs. Some images show the architecture of the lodges some of which were later designated as national landmarks due to their exemplification of National Park Service rustic-style architecture. Surrounding these images are a series of photographs presumably of the family responsible for the album showing a young family picnicking beside their automobile. This section also includes interestingly a realphoto Christmas Card from Mr. and Mrs. Mark Frederick Jukes. Jukes was a notable photographer based in Elko Nevada during this period. The next section which represents the most uncommon images in the album shows a series of images of Glacier National Park. The group includes ten realphoto postcards by or attributed to T.J. Hileman some with his copyright mark who was at that time the park’s staff photographer and famously took photographs of the Blackfoot people living in the eastern portion of the park. Included are two portraits of Two Guns White Calf and a portrait of Chief Three Bears neither of which we find records of in the trade. Following the Hileman images are twenty-one images taken by Fred Kiser of Glacier National Park each measuring 3 x 3 â… inches showing captioned scenes throughout Glacier National Park in Kiser’s distinctive cursive writing. Kiser began photographing western mountain landscapes on his own in 1905 following the death of his brother and his photographs of Glacier and its environs were reproduced during the park’s early days. Eight amateur photographs follow showing camping scenes in an unidentified Western landscape. The remainder of the album - 29 pictures - show the family at home and are most notable for a series of white children dressed up in faux- American Indian costumes. Overall a somewhat extensive and iconic representation of early automobile-age Western travel with the grand western scenery and zeitgeist of the time on full display. Images generally in fine condition with a few stray creases album with some light normal wear. Offered in partnership with James Arsenault & Company. unknown books

[Western Americana] [Recreation]ABAA

Album of Photographs of a Couple and their German Shepherds Enjoying Decades of Recreation in the Great Outdoors in Early 20th Century Oregon and California

1954réf. List516California and Oregon 1954. Oblong 8vo dyed calf album measuring 11 x 7 inches. Contains 218 photographs most measuring 3 x 5 with some smaller. Very Good. A charming album depicting the canine-centric adventures of a couple as they fish hike and camp their way through some of the great Western parks nearly always with a German Shepherd in tow. Several iconic landmarks are on display - El Capitan the Columbia River giant redwoods and more. The photographer had a keen eye for landscapes and the overall quality of the images and the omnipresent dogs present an infectious appreciation of nature and the outdoors. The size of the fish on display and the beauty of the surroundings show the bounty of the Western parks in the early days of automobile-era tourism. Mixed in with the shots of the outdoors is a curious series of a German shepherd in various poses at a table and several pictures of the couple at home. Presumably several dogs are shown all German Shepherds as the album spans several decades. Contents are beautifully preserved album torn at seams at the exterior and spine perished good to very good condition overall. unknown books
