TLS - Typed Letter Signed
American painter, Civil War and geological survey photographer and an explorer (1843–1942) famous for his images of the American West. TLS signed “W. H. Jackson,” two pages, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, September 30, 1926. Letter to Robert Bruce. In part: “In regard to Mr. Oleson’s criticism of my picture of the yoking up scene, he is right. In a dangerous region such a disposition of the escort would naturally follow. But I noticed that in open country, or in the vicinity of considerable bodies of other travel, the men rode about as they pleased—ahead, along side, or behind. I am glad, however, to have the criticism of those who really know, for there are many yet who have had a longer and more intimate acquaintance with western practices and customs than I have had. In regard to using that sketch of myself as a bullwhacker in another edition of the ‘Plainsmen’…It would seem to belong with the experiences of some ‘hobo’ rather than a real bullwhacker…The old Conestoga wagon seem to be adopted conventionally for the ‘Covered Wagon,’ although during my time on the plains they were seldom seen. I do not remember having seen one in use. The trains I was with were made up of ‘Jacksons’ and ‘Schuttlers.’” In a handwritten postscript, signed “WHJ,” he adds: “Perhaps Mr. Oleson would be interested in the enclosed sketch of a covered freight train on the North Plate route.” There are also a few corrections through the text in Jackson’s hand. In fine condition, with a rusty paperclip mark and impression to the upper left.
