Jackson, "pioneer photographer" and at present research secretary of the Oregon Trail Memorial association. Is on the trail of going to back-trac- k youth. Here is the way he told about It recently In announcing his gray-haire- d eighty-nlne-year-ol- d plans: "About the end of June the snows of the Rocky mountains will subside for another season and the roads will again be passable.

But I probably will pick up various friends along the way . . . folk we have Interested in our project of placing monuments and markers at the historic spots on the Trail.

Indebted as the posterity of America will be to this association and its active research secretary for .their work In marking historic spots on the famous "highway of a westward-faring nation," the Oregon Trail, posterity Is even more indebted to the work which 'William H. Jackson did many years ago with his ox-ca- rt - four-scor- gray-haire- d camera in preserving scenes which soon passed away forever and for the work which he Is ctlll doing in preserving more of those scenes through another medium that of brush and canvas. , Jackson was born in Keesvllle, a little town In the Adirondacks of New York state, in 1843. The traveling which was to characterize his whole life started early, for when he was Just one year old his family moved to Georgia. They soon returned to New York but so strong was the wanderlust which became Inbred in young Jackson that he refused to go to school after he had finished the eighth grade. At the age of fifteen be had only one desire and that was to draw and paint. He came naturally by that ambition, for his mother was a landscape artist and his father an experimenter in the making of the forerunners of modern daguerreotypes, photography. "Various kinds of picture making oocupfed my time for a while," sayg Mr. Jackson. "I made family portraits; I painted landscapes on window screens, a fashion in those early days; and I painted a row of big Jars as part of the scenery for a play about 'The Forty Thieves' of the Old Arabian Nights. The chief scenic artist for the local theaters gave me an approving slap on the back for my good drawing in this first attempt at scene palntlr.,;. 'None f these beginnings brought In much Fney but they were good practice. To this hit- art training was added a few months in the studio of a portrait painter which my technique somewhat," But the opening of the Crvll war put an end to this work and when Lincoln issued his call for "300,000 more" Jackson Joined the Rutland Light Guards, later entering Company K, Twelfth Infantry which with other troops became As soon as Jackthe Second Vermont Brigade. son's commander discovered his talent for drawing he was detailed to sketch maps of picket lines along Bull Run so at the age of nineteen held an Important and dangerous post In the Union army. After the war was over, Jackson returned to his home In the Adirondacks where for some time he was busy making photographs of the local heroes home from the war. At that time he earnea wnai was consmei-e- a a munin- .nd-ml- Ork Ver-iffo- ht coloring photographs and picking up other odd Jobs. Eventually he got as far west as SC. Joseph, Mo. Here he secured a Job of driving ox teams from Nebraska to Montana, "bull whacking" as It was called, for the wages of $20 a month. For a year, 1SG6 to 1867, he was engaged in this work, freighting from Nebraska City on the Missouri via Fort Kearney, Julesburg, Fort Laramie and South Pass and to the valley of the Great Salt lake. The following quotation from a letter which young Jackson wrote to his parents dated "Great Salt Lake City, October 30, 1866," Is a graphic pen picture of the life of a bullwhacker in those days. "The program of a day's work will give you some idea of the kind of a life we have been leading. In the morning, Just as day is breaking and when sleep lies heaviest upon us, the night watch makes the rounds, pounding on the wagons and shouting 'Roll out! Roll out! The bulls are coming." "Shouldering one of the heavy yokes I begin It is hardly looking for my old light enough yet to distinguish objects clearly and I have some difficulty at first in telling one ox from another. But I finally get my last pointer yoked and having previously put the wheelers onto the tongue I drive around the other five yoke, connected with chains, and hitch them on ahead. I am ready to pull out, usually Just as the sun Is appearing above the horizon. ... "About ten o'clock the train Is corralled, unyoking quickly done, and the cattle turned out to graze in charge of herders, and we proceed at once to get breakfast. The train Is divided into four messes, the men taking turns at the various duties. This is frequently accompanied by a good deal of contentious wrangling be cause there are always shirkers that always fail to do their share of the work. The details bring the wood and water. The cooks for the time being bake bread in the big dutch oven, make two or three gallons of coffee, slice np half a side of bacon, find It hardly necessary to shout 'Grub pile I for the whole mess Is right there, Impatiently waiting. Each one helps himself with tin cup and plate and retiring to the shady side of a wagon experiences for a brief half hour complete satisfaction. "The afternoon drive sometimes brings us into camp so that It Is quite late by the time we get supper. One of the greatest difficulties In cooking Is the matter of providing fuel. Wood is scarce and along most of our route entirely lacking. The only substitute available Is buffalo chips. It makes an excellent fire for cooking purposes when entirely dry, but when wet is the meanest stuff imaginable to get along with, trying the patience of the cooks to the ut most. "My heavy suppers with the great quantities of strong coffee that I drink Just before going to bed frequently result In dreams that verge on nightmares. At first, when the novelty of my adventure with Its attendant work and worry was uppermost in my mind I had lurid dreams almost every night and Invariably they related to my team of bulls. Sometimes I imagined them out of control and about to plunge over great precipice. Wild with terror I would tumble out of my wagon In my desperate attempt to head them off from destruction, only to be yanked back by my bed fellow or brought to my senses by the night watchman. Billy and I slept on a buffalo robe with long shaggy hair. On one occasion I began tugging at this rode so violently that I nearly threw Billy out of the wagon. Of course he was in a high dudgeon and wanted to know what I thought I .was doing; dreaming still, I replied 'I can't get my con founded leaders' heads around I " After a year of this work, young Jackson de cided he wanted to start np In the business which be knew best so he went to Omaha and In 1863 he and his brother, who had come on from the East, set op a shop with a shingle over the door which read "Jackson Brother ... 2.

Young Mr. Jackson saw In the starting of the railroad a wonderful chance for pictures. So he left the business in the hands of his brother and started out to record what was happening. "In those days," says Mr. Jackson, "photog raphy was different than It is today. The pioneer photographer of that time had to be something of a chemist, artist and mechanic all put together. When he wanted to take pictures on the road he had to carry chemicals, trays, glasses and what not, for each plate had to be prepared on the spot for every exposure. So when I started out from Omaha in 1868 I was equipped with a complete portable outfit for developing pictures en route." Dr. F. V. Hayden head of the United States geological survey of the territories, organized to obtain definite information about those vast re gions opened to the settlers by the new railroad, saw the pictures which Mr. Jackson took on that trip. He liked them so much he decided he must have Jackson along on his own surveying trip which he was slated to take along the old Oregon Trail, across Wyoming and back by the Overland Stage route. Thus it came about that William H. Jackson was the first man to make photographs of the marvels of the old Oregon Trail country. Although he was appointed official photographer of the Hayden survey, he received no salary, but his equipment was provided and he was permitted to keep all negatives he made, for his own use. Most of his photographic supplies he carried In the ambulance which accompanied the party, but he also was provided with a little donkey which he named "Hypo." "Hypo" carried his working kit. This survey of Doctor Hayden's started in August, 1870, and from Independence Rock followed the old Oregon Mormon trail along the Sweetwater river. Returning, It followed the old Overland Stage route across southern Wyoming and at Fort Saunders disbanded for the season. So pleased were Washington officials with the pictures taken on this first survey that they appointed Jackson to accompany future surveys as photographer and for ten years he remained with Doctor Hayden In this capacity. In 1871, he took pictures of Yellowstone. He was the first to make photographs of the marvels of this country and his pictures, as well as the discoveries of, and specimens collected, by Doctor Hayden and his party, played an important part in the creation of the Yellowstone National park in 1872. The last expedition of the Hayden Geological survey to the Rocky mountain region was made in 1878, the present United States Mr. geological 'survey then being Instituted. Jackson accompanied this final expedition. Having completed his work as a pioneer photographer, Mr. Jackson eventually settled in Detroit and took up photography as a business. For 25 years he was connected with the Detroit Publishing company, retiring from that company a few years ago. Since that time be has been busy writing about his experiences In the old days, making paintings from his notes and sketches and promoting the work of the Oregon Trail Memorial association. And this summer he will climax bis career by one more trip over that historic route where he was once a and the first and outstanding member of his profession that of photographer of the er . one-eight- h Cod-live- Salt Lake City's 'fewest Hotel .S3 1, 'TO ft ''9 V HOTEL TEMPLE SQUARE 200 Tile Baths 200 Rooms Radio connection in every room.
