Forsyth, N. A. (Norman A.), 1869-1949
Norman A. Forsyth was born on February 10, 1869 in Syracuse, New York. Adopted as an infant, his family moved to Plainview, Nebraska, in 1870. Forsyth attended Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Nebraska and while in school, Forsyth began selling stereo cards and viewers door-to-door for Underwood and Underwood, an early producer and distributor of stereographic views.
Shortly after graduating from college in 1901, Forsyth headed west to Yellowstone National Park to work for the Shaw and Powell transportation company. Attracted by the park’s scenic beauty, Forsyth decided to continue working as a tour guide and stage driver in Yellowstone for five more summers. Forsyth purchased a stereo camera and captured Yellowstone views which he then sold to Underwood and Underwood.
