Description:
This album documents three distinct activities of McClintock: a tour by the National Forest Commission of forest reserves in the western United States in early summer 1896; a visit and stay among the Piegan Indians in northwestern Montana in late summer through the winter of 1896, and photographs related to a United States Forestry Service project in the Adirondacks in 1897.
The first part of the album comprises 40 photographs that document a tour by the National Forest Commission of forest reserves in Montana. Identified sites include Cut Bank Pass, Cutbank Creek, Divide Mountain, Flathead River, Little Chief Mountain, Saint Mary Lake, Swiftcurrent Lake, and Two Medicine Lake, as well as the home of scout William Jackson. Informal portraits of identified individuals include Henry Solon Graves (Yale 1892) and Gifford Pinchot (Yale 1889), as well as a portrait of McClintock created by Graves.
The second part of the album consists of 36 photographs and three newspaper clippings that document McClintock's life among the Piegan Indians in late summer and through the winter of 1896. Images include several images of a circle camp (Akoka'tssini), containing views of a Thunder tipi, a Crow Indian tipi, and a Sun Lodge. Group portraits of Piegan Indians include Grass Dancers and men inside a Sun Lodge, in addition to a portrait of Brave Dog Society members. Identified individuals include informal portraits of Siyeh (Mad Wolf) and Reverend Ernest S. Dutcher with his family at the Epworth Piegan Mission on Willow Creek, as well as portraits of McClintock, including depictions of him with George C. Hitchcock (Yale 1890). Identified sites include Blackfoot Agency buildings at Browning, as well as views of Cut Bank Pass and a trestle bridge on the Great Northern Railway over Cut Bank Creek.
The third part of the album consists of 35 photographs documenting the forest of Nehasane, the estate of William Seward Webb in Hamilton County, New York, in 1897. In 1979, this property became part of the Adirondack Park. This project contributed to Henry Solon Graves, Practical Forestry in the Adirondacks (Washington, D.C.: Department of Agriculture, Forestry Division, 1899). Views of different types of forests include balsam fir, hemlock, lake aspen, spruce, umbrella spruce, white pine, and yellow birch. Other forest images include a beaver dam-created meadow, and aspen seedlings after a fire. Other images include informal portraits of individuals in camp, including Graves and William S. Walcott (Yale 1894), as well as views of McClintock's tipi, the Nehasane Lodge, and Lake Lila.
