<DIV>It's frustrating when history gets recorded wrong, especially about
our families. People quote poorly researched histories, without citing
primary sources, and they're trusted by people. We genealogists know to
check original sources, but it's hard to change written "histories." I
don't know of any way of setting records straight, other than writing our own
family history and incorporating our documentation. Even if we
do that though, our books wouldn't be read by very many people.
</DIV>

<DIV>Glen should be able to obtain land records to prove his ancestor Albert
Hugh Robie was Mace McCoy's partner in the Diamond Ranch endeavor. I'm
sure I've heard the Robie name in connection with Harney County history
before. We've been to the Diamond area and we were pleased to learn from
Glen how the area got it's name from the cattle brand. There might be an
old cattle brand book in Harney County showing the Diamond brand and it's
owners.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How can we correct mistakes in history? What do you listers
suggest we do with situations like Glen's
problem? Gerrie</DIV>

<DIV>For all that may be interested the history on the Diamond hotel is not
entirely correct, Mace McCoy was a partner of my Great Grandfather Albert Hugh
Robie,Albert bought out Mace and was selling to Pete French when he died, he
was one of the men with Pete French and his cowhands when attacked by the
Bannocks at the start of that war, the Diamond was the cattle brand that Mace
and Albert Had and that is where the Diamond area gets it's name.</DIV>

<DIV>Hope listers may be able to help.</DIV>
<DIV>This past week I was in Idaho and picked up a book at the Owyhee
County Historical Society,</DIV>
<DIV>Titled "Owyhee Cattlemen 1878-1978 100 years in the Saddle" By
Mildretta Adams Publisher "Owyhee Publishing" Homedale Idaho, the book had
a photo of my Great Grandfathers Ranch at Diamond Oregon near Burns, (A.
H. Robie Diamond Ranch).</DIV>
<DIV>The Publisher and the Owyhee County Historical Society have no idea
what happened to the photos after Mildretta passed away and many people
includeing myself have inquired about copies of some of the photos in the
book, all would like to know what happened to the photos or if someone has
them, I have sent this same message on the Idaho Genweb, if anyone
knows about these photos contact the publisher or me, it would be a big
loss to history and genealogy if these photos are lost.</DIV>
<DIV>Mildretta was a Author and Curator of the Silver City Idaho Museum
until her death.</DIV>
