L. Christine Bliss Seamans Papers 1907-1970

http://nwda.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv69845

The L. Christine Bliss Seamans Papers include a variety of source material she collected while working on a history of the Huntley Project. Included in the papers are letters Arthur E. Seamans wrote to his mother while working on a ranch near Forsyth between 1908 and 1909. Also found in the papers are Huntley Project directories from the mid 1960s, winning essays from the 1958 Pioneer Days Essay Contest, Homesteader Days booklet from 1964, a program from the Ballantine Roundup of 1916, and an article written by Reverend E. E. Pleasant about his time as minister at the Ballantine Congregational Church from 1909 to 1914. The bulk of the papers contain 74 pictures of Huntley Project pioneers, schools, and homesteads. The oral history statements compiled by Seamans were actually written essays prepared by her with the assistance of the subjects, and the audiotape consists of recordings made by the subjects as they read the prepared essays aloud.
