‘Knabenshue, N.Dak. State Fair, Fargo, 1908’

 Item — Folder: 1, Folder: 459.1.2

Scope and Content

From the Item: The five photographs were copied from a number of images found in the scrapbooks of Vern Roberts that were loaned to the Institute for Regional Studies for copying. There were more images in the scrapbooks than were copied, due to cost considerations. The original prints and scrapbooks were returned to the Roberts family. The Roberts scrapbooks and other papers were processed as Manuscript 1514.



There are two images of Vernon Roberts by an airplane, one from 1932 and the other undated, although likely from early 1920s. There is also an image of an airplane taking off from a rural area, when the first air mail was flown to Winnipeg in 1922. The final two copy prints likely are of postcards of a Mr. Knabenshue in a flying machine at the state fair in Fargo (1908) and Lucky Bob St. Henry flying an airplane at Mandan, N.D.
