Painter, photographer, and explorer famous for his images of the American West (1843–1942). Fascinating collection consisting of three letters from Jackson as well as many pieces of related ephemera. First is a TLS signed “W. H. Jackson,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, September 25, 1926, in part: “That sketch of the bullwhacker as he arrived in Salt Lake City, was made by me, and is only one of many others that I amused myself with during the trip,” and continues on to explain that it was based upon his appearance after spending six months in the West. Second is a TLS signed in pencil, “W. H. Jackson,” one page, 6 x 11.25, March 19, 1927, in part: “These first hand accounts of the tragedy of the Little Big Horn are made doubly interesting by the introduction of the excellent maps…In our expeditions to the Yellowstone in ’71…I took along the materials for making prints that year, and while in camp at Boteler’s getting our pack outfit in shape, I made a good many for the officers.” Third is an ALS signed “Jack,” on a 5.5 x 3.5 postcard, postmarked New York July 25, 1939, in part: “Leaving this morning.” Also includes letters related to Jackson’s memorial service and about his work, five snapshots from his memorial ceremony at Arlington Cemetery, two snapshots of Jackson himself, a couple of Jackson’s greeting cards, and a few pamphlets. In overall very good to fine condition.
