Scope and Content
From the Collection:
In June of 2009, Judy Fowler (granddaughter of Thomas Harrison) sent to Dr. Dwain Meyer, North Dakota State Seed Department, approximately 80 pages of what seemed to be a photo journal that Thomas Harrison had created between 1913-1916, detailing his visit to North Dakota. The journal begins with a shot of silos in Ward County, North Dakota (Minot is the county seat) and a mention of the county agent, Mr. W.A. Peck, who was the country agent from 1912-1920. In addition to buildings (farmsteads, creameries, schools, banks, etc.), his journal documents crops, farm machinery, farm training techniques and demonstrations, Boys and Girls Clubs, and people engaged in various agricultural related activities. He also traveled to meet with the Steele County (Finley is the county seat) agent, A.E. Nelson (agent from 1913-1916), H.L. Bolley (Dean of Biology and Professor of Botany and Plant Pathology, North Dakota
Agricultural College, Fargo), Superintendent of the Williston Agricultural Sub-station, and the Boys and
Girls Club in Hunter (Cass County). Note: All pages are in mylar sleeves.
