Edward H. Boos photographs
circa 1900-1908
3.0 linear feet
305 items
Edward H. Boos was a photographer from
Missoula, Montana. This collection includes 305 glass plate negatives, flexible
film negatives, and prints created by Boos between 1900 and 1908. This
photographic collection constitutes one of the most extensive and detailed
visual records of the Missoula, Mission, and Flathead valleys at the beginning
of the twentieth century.
Materials are in
English
The original negatives for 73 items in this collection are located with
the Denver Public Library Western History/Genealogy Department (DPL). The
photographs at DPL are listed in the "Flathead Indian Pictures" series within
this collection. The following list provides a cross-reference to DPL
possessions. Items are organized according to their K. Ross Toole Archives
photograph number with cross-reference to the corresponding DPL photo number.
For both repositories most caption information was inscribed prior to donation.
In nearly every instance, caption information is significantly different on the
K. Ross Toole Archives' photograph than on the originals at the Denver Public
Library.

Biographical Note
Edward Boos was born in Kentucky on April 1, 1877. His family moved to
Helena, Montana, while he was in grade school. He attended the University of
Montana at Missoula in 1896 but did not complete a degree. In that same year
Boos began working as a freelance correspondent for several newspapers in the
Missoula area. During the summer of 1897 Boos accompanied the U.S. Army 25th
Infantry Bicycle Corps on its experimental overland trip from Fort Missoula to
St. Louis, Missouri. The company traversed 1,900 miles over difficult terrain
and through taxing weather conditions in an attempt prove bicycles could
replace horses for troop transport and reconnaissance. Boos submitted accounts
of the expedition as they traveled. His accounts were prepared for the
Daily Missoulian, but some were also published by
newspapers along the route and a few were subsequently reprinted by national
and international newspapers.
After the Bicycle Corps expedition Boos continued to produce
photographs for western Montana newspapers. Sometime around 1900 he purchased
his own camera and began photographing people and landscapes in the Missoula
and Flathead valleys. Boos was particularly interested in recording life among
the Kootenai, Salish and Pend'Oreille families of the Flathead Reservation as
the 20th century began. He conducted a series of photographic portrait sessions
at various sites across the reservation, mostly completed between spring and
fall of 1905. According to a 1935 newspaper story, many of these portraits were
developed at night under a canvas cover so the photographer could share the
portraits directly with his subjects. Throughout the time period Boos continued
to photograph landscapes and events in the Missoula and Flathead Lake
areas.
In 1906 Boos accepted an advertising manager position with the
Missoula Mercantile Company and married Annie Hammond, cousin of MMC co-owner
Andrew Hammond. Edward Boos ended his newspaper work but continued to
periodically take photographs. Boos remained with the Missoula Mercantile
Company for the next thirty-one years. In September 1935 an "Indian Jubilee"
celebration was held in St. Ignatius, Montana. This event was the first public
exhibition and print sale of Boos' Flathead Reservation portraits. Edward H.
Boos died of a heart attack on September 26, 1937.
This collection includes 305 glass plate and modern film negatives and
prints created by Edward H. Boos between 1900 and 1908. This photographic
collection constitutes one of the most extensive and detailed visual records of
the Missoula, Mission, and Flathead valleys at the beginning of the 20th
Century.
Boos' Flathead Reservation portraits document particularly insightful
details regarding the lifestyle, possessions, and landscapes of tribal members
just prior to the 1910 Allotment Act--an action that opened vast portions of
the reservation to non-tribal settlement. Some photographs were not inscribed
with captions prior to donation to the K. Ross Toole Archives and several
others were inscribed with only cursory identifiers. However, most photographs
were inscribed with various combinations of the subjects' tribal name (in
phonetic transcription), loose English translation, and Flathead Agency
register names. In several instances Boos photographed the same individuals
over a number of years. Among these individuals, mostly young males, several
were given new tribal names within the span of Boos' portrait series (evidenced
by changes in the captions attached to each photograph).
In contrast to the Salish, Kootenai, and Pend'Oreille photographs,
Boos' Flathead, Mission, and Missoula valleys series is a mix of broad
landscape images, community events, and portraits. This series primarily
contains photographs of the Flathead and Missoula valleys; however, it also
includes a few photographs from the Mission valley as well as one from near
Frenchtown, MT, looking east towards Missoula. The landscape photographs in
this series offer a significant record of topography and general vegetative
matrices during the early stages of community expansion into the foothills of
the Missoula and Flathead valleys. The series also records some common leisure
activities among western Montanans at the turn of the 20th Century, as well as
glimpses of Missoula community events. The Victoria, B.C. series contains
photographs from an undated vacation.
The collection is arranged in three series:
Series I: Flathead Indian Pictures, 1900-1907
Series II: Flathead, Mission, and Missoula Valleys, 1900-1908
Series III: Victoria, British Columbia, undated

The full collection remained in the possession of the Missoula
Mercantile Company following Mr. Boos' death. Records provide contradictory
information regarding the exact disposition of the collection. Denver Public
Library records indicate the 126 negatives and four prints they own were
purchased directly from Annie Boos, his widow, in 1938. Much later
correspondence with Mr. Boos' niece indicate that Walter McLeod, President of
the Missoula Mercantile Company at the time of Boos' death, managed disposition
of the collection - selling 129 prints and glass plate negatives to the Denver
Public Library in the early 1940s and donating the remaining glass plate
negatives to the University of Montana.
Gift of Walter McLeod, 1972.
Walter McLeod created the original arrangement structure, applying a
simple consecutive number system regardless of the year the photograph was
created or the image subject. Archives staff processed the negatives and prints
between 1972 and 1978. During archives processing a new photograph numbering
system was assigned. The collection was re-processed in 2003. In reprocessing,
both Mr. McLeod's and Archives numbering systems were retained, but the
collection was separated into three series based upon subject matter. Original
negatives were identified and labeled separately from copies. All negatives and
prints were cataloged and extensively re-described.
The Denver Public Library Western History/Genealogy Department retains
a collection of 126 glass plate negatives and four additional prints. Scanned
images of all prints are available on-line from the Denver Public Library web
site (http://gowest.coalliance.org/). The Montana Historical Society and the
Smithsonian Institution retain prints, eleven and seven respectively, from
negatives in both the Denver Public Library Western History/Genealogy
Department and K. Ross Toole Archives collections.
K. Ross Toole Archives also holds two photos titled "Indian Dancing
Men" and "Pielle-A Kootenai" in mats that are signed by Boos and include small
pencil drawings.

Flathead Indian
Pictures
1900-1907
Most photographs in this series were inscribed with various
combinations of the subjects' tribal name (in phonetic transcription), loose
English translation, and Flathead Agency register names. In several instances
Boos photographed the same individuals over a number of years. Among these
individuals, mostly young males, several were given new tribal names within the
span of Boos' portrait series (evidenced by changes in the captions attached to
each photograph). Text between quotation marks is Edward Boos' original
description of the photographs. Text in parentheses is subsequent description
from original photograph envelopes that may have been recorded by Boos, Walter
McLeod, or early archives staff. The original glass plate negative for 78-214
is broken, inhibiting reproduction quality.

Series II
Flathead, Mission, and Missoula
Valleys
1900-1908
This series primarily contains photographs of the Flathead and
Missoula valleys; however, it also includes a few photographs from the Mission
valley as well as one from the Clark Fork valley near Frenchtown, Montana. The
landscape photographs in this series offer a significant record of topography
and general vegetative matrices during the early stages of community expansion
into the foothills of the Missoula and Flathead valleys. The series also
records some common leisure activities among western Montanans at the turn of
the twentieth century, as well as glimpses of Missoula community events. Text
between quotation marks is Edward Boos' original description of the
photographs. Text in parentheses is subsequent description from original
photograph envelopes that may have been recorded by Boos, Walter McLeod, or
early archives staff. The original glass plate negative for 78-415 is broken,
inhibiting reproduction quality.
