<DIV>You are so right that these photos should be found. You've mentioned
all the places I can think of looking. I'll stay alert on this subject and
let you know if I learn anything. It's good you've written Mike Hanley -
maybe he'll know what happened to Mrs. Adams things. He stays on top of
things in eastern Oregon and western Idaho. We toured Mildretta Adams'
wonderful museum in Silver City many years ago and found her
delightful. I've never been to Grandview - we'll have to take in that
museum sometime. Those folks in Murphy are good at preservation and would
have told you if they knew where those pictures are. I'll spread the word
that you want to know where Mildretta Adams' pictures are and let you know if I
find anything, but don't hold your breath. </DIV>

<DIV>One bad thing on Mildretta's book Owyee Cattlemen, is no one seems to
know what happened to her things after she passed away, none of her
manuscripts were found, a number of people have inquired of the publisher
about copies of photos from the book, we are hoping they have not been thrown
away but are stored somewhere and hope to locate them, so that those who would
like copies of the photos can get them and the publisher would like to
republish the book.</DIV>
<DIV>The Burns Library and Historical Socity are looking, as well as the
Museum at Murphy, and I have someone checking the museum at Grandview
where everything from the Silver City Museum was moved, I have also sent a
letter to Mike Hanley.</DIV>
<DIV>The Idaho Historical Society has nothing, that they can find
anyway.</DIV>
<DIV>It would be a terrible loss to Genealogy and History if these photos
and data are lost.</DIV>

<DIV>Glen</DIV>
<DIV>I'm glad your ancestor has received proper credit in some history
books. I probably saw the Robie name when we took a loop tour of
the Malheur Wildlife Refuge last year and and went to see the Diamond
area. My sister-in-law's sister-in-law (that's <U>not</U> a typo!)
works at the Diamond Hotel. The bird museum there is wonderful, but
not as well kept as it used to be. We stopped at a store on that
loop that has ranch related articles and lots of good western
books. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In 1980, my father-in-law gave us Mildretta Adams' book: "Owyhee
Cattlemen 1878 - 1978, 199 Years In The Saddle." I just now pulled it
from my bookshelf & found good information on A. H. Robie on page
189, along with the ranch photo. Eastern Oregonians will always be
grateful to Mildretta Adams and Mike Hanley for putting our side of Oregon
down on paper for posterity. These authors show a passion
for our history. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My father-in-law, Don Stults was born in La Grande and moved with
his family to Jordan Valley in 1917 to homestead on the dry land high
desert. The last of that family sold the ranch a few years ago, but we
had one fun family reunion there some time ago, while all but one
of the siblings was living. One of the aunties said
that 10 acres of Treasure Valley soil produced much better than 100
acres of the Jordan Valley homestead. You can't beat the Jordan Valley
people and boy do they turn out for a former J. V. person's funeral!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That Murphy, Idaho Museum and book store is a good one.
We went there this year, and we couldn't resist buying Mike
Hanley's newer book - it's at our cabin now, and I can't
remember it's name. Mike's other passion is
researching & acurately restoring old stage coaches. He
drives them in parades and has participated in wagon train
recreations. Mike's an amazing guy.</DIV>

<DIV>Just to set the record straight, a number of history books for the
area have the correct info on the Diamond Area, I also have copies of the
probate records thanks to Sandy Flory, Oregon geographic names when the
8th edition comes out will have corrected information about the Diamond
Area and Ft. (Camp) Harney also.</DIV>

<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> </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>Glen, This link tells about the current Hotel Diamond at

<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>
