Materials are in English
Frank Bird Linderman was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 25,
1869, the son of James Bird Linderman and Mary Ann Brannan Linderman. He
attended schools in Ohio and Chicago, including Oberlin College, before moving
to Montana Territory in 1885 at the age of sixteen. He worked as a trapper from
1885 to 1891, then met his wife, Minnie Jane Johns, in Demersville, Montana, in
1891. They were married in 1893 in Missoula, Montana. They had three children:
Wilda, Verne, and Norma.
From 1893 to 1897, he worked in Butte, Montana, as an assayer, then
moved to Brandon, Montana. About 1900, the family moved to Sheridan, Montana,
where he was an assayer, furniture salesman, and newspaperman.
Linderman was also a politician: he served in the Montana state
legislature in the 1903 and 1905 sessions. He ran for the U.S. Congress in 1916
and 1918; in 1924 he ran for the U.S. Senate against Thomas J. Walsh. He was a
Mason, and was inducted to that brotherhood in Sheridan in 1899. He received
the Scottish Rite in the Helena consistory in 1911. He continued to be active
in Masonry and held a number of offices in that organization.
From 1905 to 1907, he was Montana's Assistant Secretary of State.
After that, he became a successful insurance agent with the Guardian Insurance
Company of America. In 1917, he bought property at Goose Bay on Flathead Lake,
moved the family from Helena, and pursued writing full-time. He also took up
sculpting in bronze.
Linderman had wanted to be a writer as early as 1911, when he had been
encouraged by Opie Read. Read encouraged him to submit his first collection of
tales to Charles Scribner's Sons, who published it as
Indian Why Stories in 1915. He continued to publish to
favorable reviews, but found the profession less than remunerative. In 1924,
with his writing income still small, he bought the Hotel Kalispell and ran it
for two years, then sold it as a profit. He changed publishers in 1929, and
worked with Hermann Hagedorn of the John Day Company. Charles M. Russell, a
lifelong and close friend, illustrated many of his books.
He devoted a great deal of his life to Montana's Native Americans,
learning and writing about their ways and trying to help them in material ways.
His first contacts with them were as a trapper, when he became acquainted with
members of the Flathead and Kootenai tribes; he later knew many Crow,
Blackfeet, Cree, and Chippewas. Many Indians taught him tribal legends,
including Kootenai Two-Comes-Over-the-Hill; Muskegon, a Cree; and Full-Of-Dew,
a Chippewa medicine man. He was instrumental in founding the Rocky Boy's
Reservation for Montana's Cree and Chippewa. He was adopted into three tribes:
the Blackfeet, the Cree, and the Crow.
Linderman's published books include
Indian Why Stories: Sparks from War Eagle's Lodge-Fire
(1915);
Indian Lodge-Fire Stories (1918);
On a Passing Frontier: Sketches from the Northwest (1920);
Indian Old-Man Stories: More Sparks from War Eagle's
Lodge-Fire (1920);
How It Came About Stories (1921);
Bunch-Grass and Blue Joint (1921);
Lige Mounts, Free Trapper (1922);
Kootenai Why Stories (1926);
American: The Life Story of a Great Indian, Plenty-Coups, Chief of
the Crows (1930);
Old-Man Coyote (1931);
Red Mother (1932);
Beyond Law (1933);
Stumpy (1933); and "Out of the North" in
Blackfeet Indians, by Winold Reiss (1935). He also
published numerous magazine articles, tales, anecdotes, and poems.
Linderman's health was fragile after he tried to save his Goose Bay
home from a fire in 1919, and it began to fail in 1930. He died in Santa
Barbara, California, in 1938. Minnie Linderman died in 1941.
Linderman's daughters continued to be highly involved with the
preservation of his literary and anthropological legacy, and their own literary
contributions are notable. Wilda Jane Linderman was born in Butte, Montana, in
1894. She graduated from the University of Montana in Missoula and studied at
Harvard University and Radcliffe College before teaching at the Santa Barbara
Girls School in California. Her father's manuscripts show extensive editorial
marks by her. In 1938, she founded the Gosling School in Peterborough, New Hampshire. She
died in 1981.
Verne Bird Linderman was born in 1897 and also graduated from the
University of Montana in Missoula, where she wrote for H. G. Merriam's
Frontier. Her father's manuscripts have extensive
editorial marks by her. She became society editor for the
Daily Inter Lake and correspondent for the Butte, Great
Falls, and Spokane newspapers. From 1930 to 1980, she was a feature writer for
the
Santa Barbara News Press. She was also a regular
contributor to the
Christian Science Monitor. In 1943, she won the Theta
Sigma Chi award for best feature story in southern California newspapers. She
died in 1989.
Norma Linderman was born in 1898 at Brandon, Montana. She
attended Helena schools and the University of Montana-Missoula. In 1925, she
married Roy Oliver Waller; they had four children, James, Richard, John, and
Sarah. Mrs. Waller was particularly instrumental in preserving, distributing,
and displaying her father's Native American cultural objects and worked with numerous
cultural institutions to do so. She worked with H.G. Merriam to have
Recollections of Charley Russell and
Montana Adventure published. She died in 1972.
The third generation of the Linderman family, the Waller children,
continued to play a significant role in preserving Frank Linderman's memory. James Waller was born in 1926 and attended high school in Kalispell.
He worked in the construction trucking and service station and garage
businesses. He inherited Linderman's gun collection, which he passed on to one
of his sons and to the Smithsonian Institution. He married Ruth, an
accomplished weaver; they had two sons, Robert James and Daniel Richard.
James Waller died in 2015.
Richard L. Waller was born in 1928 and graduated from Flathead County
High School. He attended Montana State University in Bozeman for one year,
interrupted his schooling to serve in the United States Air Force, and
completed his four years of architectural training in 1957. He worked for
architecture firms in Spokane and Wenatchee, Washington, until 1981, when he
went into construction management in Washington and Alaska. He then worked for
the City of Wenatchee as a building inspector. He also did freelance
architectural work for over thirty years. He designed the brochure for the bronze casts
made of Linderman's sculptures and assisted his sister with the
administrative matters surrounding the collection. He married his wife, Elaine,
in 1949; they had four children. He died in 2002.
Sarah Jane Waller was born in 1931 in Kalispell, Montana, and
lived with her family and grandparents at Linderman's Goose Bay home from 1935
to 1941, when the family moved back to Kalispell. She graduated from the
University of Montana-Missoula and worked for companies in Wyoming and Montana
as a secretary and geophysical computer. She married Robert G. Hatfield in
1953; they had two children, Cynthia Ann and Mark Robert. From 1961 to 1989,
the family resided in San Jose, California, then returned to Kalispell,
Montana. Sarah (Sally) Hatfield became literary trustee for the Linderman family,
charged with all custodial care, which included finding a permanent repository
for the papers. She did extensive work in the papers, editing and preparing
Quartzville,
Wolf and the Winds,
Henry Plummer: A Novel,
The Iron Shirt,and
Big Jinny: The Story of a Grizzly Bear
for publication. Sarah Hatfield also exhibited the Linderman
collections at many locations across Montana. She died in 2015. Robert Hatfield continued the Linderman advocacy efforts until his death in 2017.
John (Jack) Waller was born in 1940. He played in the Navy Band, then attended the Berklee College of
Music in Boston before playing extensively in New York City and San Francisco,
as well as many other locations around the United States.
This collection documents the productive and collective efforts of
Frank Linderman and his many careers as writer, politician, assayer, and Native
American ally and ethnographer. The correspondence and photographs are
especially extensive.
The collection also contains materials produced by Linderman's heirs,
largely his daughters, Wilda, Verne, and Norma, as well as the continued efforts of his granddaughter, Sarah Jane Waller Hatfield.
The materials document the efforts of these family members to perpetuate the
memory of Frank Linderman through donations and loans of materials to and
displays at museums, as well as publication or republication of his writings. Since the
literary efforts of the family are continuous throughout the twentieth century,
materials from the generations cross series within the collection; notations on the source and editorship are retained.
The collection is divided into twenty-one series:
Series I: Biographical, 1 folder, circa 1919-1935
Series II: Correspondence, 1.75 linear feet, 1903-1985
Series III: Writings, 2.5 linear feet, 1911-1986

The collection was largely in the possession of the Linderman family
until donation to the Archives.
Frederic Van de Water donated sixty-one pieces of his correspondence
with Linderman to the University of Montana Friends of the Library in 1961. In
1963, Linderman's daughters, Norma Waller, Wilda Linderman, and Verne
Linderman, presented the original and edited manuscripts of
Recollections of Charley Russell to the Friends of the
Library. In 1967, the daughters presented 1500 pieces of Linderman
correspondence to the University of Montana Library through Professor Merriam
and the Friends of the Library. That same year, the Friends of the Library
purchased fifty-eight Linderman letters from Western Hemisphere Books and
Manuscripts. In 1968, the Linderman daughters again presented the Friends of
the Library with a collection of Linderman material. In 1984, Sarah Jane Waller
Hatfield, Linderman's granddaughter, and her brothers, James Waller, Richard
Waller, and John Waller, donated additional manuscripts and Native American
cultural objects. This was augmented by additional donations by that same family group
in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1993, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and
2010. Robert Hatfield donated additional material in 2015 and 2016.
The order of the original collection of Linderman papers--those
received between 1961 and 1968--was based largely on the arrangement given by
H. G. Merriam as he worked with them; the additions received from the family
and purchased were integrated into the collection. Materials that arrived after
1984 remained unprocessed until 1999. In that year, the collection was
augmented with the formerly unprocessed materials. The whole was re-described,
substantially rearranged into the first nine series, and rehoused. Some
photographs that had formerly been integrated into the Archives' general
photograph collection were replaced into this collection at the request of the
heirs.
With the exception of objects and textiles, materials donated from
2000 to present have been remained separated into new series identified by an
accession number, which reflects the date of the individual donations. Many
folder descriptions in these new series follow specific phrasing from
inventories and appraisal documents provided by the donors. Objects and
Textiles were added to Series IX: Native American Cultural Objects and Family Artifacts.
In 2022, several of the clothing items in Series IX were deaccessioned and transferred to the Northwest Montana Historical Society and the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula.
The following books arrived with Accession 2000-42 and were placed
into Special Collections: The Indian Sign Language by W.P. Clark, 1885; Mining
and General Telegraphic Code by Bedford McNeill, 1895; Practical Notes on the
Cyanide Process by Francis L. Boxqui, 1901; Notes on Assaying and Assay
Schemes, Pierre de Peyster Rickets, 1892; and A Manual of Practical Assaying by
John Mitchell, 1881.
A privately published volume, "A Rembrance of Times Past: Collected Writings of Norma Linderman Waller, Verne Bird Linderman, Wilda Johns Linderman" was donated to Archives and Special Collections in 2014. It was cataloged as a monograph and placed into Special Collections.
The Dartmouth College Library holds a holograph of Co-pee, one of the
stories contained in Linderman's book Kootenai why stories.
The Department of Special Collections at the University of California,
Los Angeles, holds a small collection of Linderman materials including
holograph and typescript manuscripts of several books and a galley proof.
The Montana Historical Society holds an assay book from Linderman's
business in Sheridan.

Biographical
Series II
Correspondence
1903-1985
1.75 linear feet
This series contains the personal, professional, and literary
correspondence of the Linderman family. The correspondence is divided into two
subseries: Linderman's Correspondence, and Family Correspondence.
The first, and by far the most extensive, Subseries is Linderman's
produced and collected correspondence. Letters range from the routine to the
deeply informative. There are several folders of Linderman's exchanges with his
editors at Charles Scribner's Sons and the John Day Company that offer insights
into his creative and editorial process. There are especially complete groups
of correspondence with literary friends and associates, including Charley
Russell, Hermann Hagedorn, H. G. Merriam, and Frederick Van de Water. The
correspondence with Russell includes some explanatory notes added by Norma
Linderman Waller after his death. Correspondence with members of his family,
including his father and brothers, forms another significant group. Other
correspondents include many notable Americans and Montanans: Gifford Pinchot,
Joseph Dixon, George Grinnell, Paris Gibson, Edgar S. Paxson, and Theodore
Roosevelt. The series finishes with a group of correspondence from those
admiring his books, including children.
Subseries 2, the correspondence of Linderman's family mainly
consists of correspondence discussing the preservation of Linderman's memory
and sale or donation of his artistic and literary remains, including that with
historical agencies, publishers, editors, and auction houses. Most notable is
the correspondence with H. G. Merriam about the editing of
Recollections of Charley Russell and
Montana Adventure, with the University of Montana
regarding the Linderman Collection, and with the Museum of the Plains Indian in
Browning, Montana, about the extensive collection of Linderman Native American cultural objects housed
there. It also includes condolence notes sent after the death of Mr. and Mrs.
Linderman.
Within those groups, materials are arranged alphabetically by name
of correspondent or subject, as appropriate.

Writings
1911-1986
2.5 linear feet
This series documents Linderman's published writings, including
both those published before and after his death. Materials are divided into
four subseries: Published Books, Published Short Stories and Poetry, Notes, and
Writings of Others.
Published Books is the largest subgroup of the three. Formats
include original manuscript notes and typed drafts, and drafts with notes by
both Linderman and his daughters. For manuscripts published after his death,
materials include multiple typings of manuscripts, editorial corrections, and
copious notes about the original appearance of events or stories. The notes of
his granddaughter, Sarah J. Hatfield, are particularly detailed; copies of the
original envelopes in which each manuscript was housed, with her notes, are
included in every folder. She provides extensive information on the contents of
each manuscript, and often documents where original materials appear in the
final publication. As such, it represents not only his creative processes, but
the efforts of his heirs to publish his writings and perpetuate his memory. The
manuscripts for
Recollections of Charley Russell and
Montana Adventure, both edited by H.G. Merriam, are
included, with both Linderman's original and Merriam's editorial work
documented. Likewise, the work of Larry Barsness, editor of
Quartzville, is represented. Correspondence relating
to these projects may be found in Series II.
In Published Short Stories and Poetry, there are also notes for
and fragments of stories published on their own in periodicals. In addition,
there is a group of mimeographed copies of Linderman's poetry with notes on
their publication.
Linderman's Notes includes handwritten notes with story ideas, as
well as a very valuable group of small notebooks that seem to have served as
his field notes. They contain snatches of notes, particularly on Native
American language and customs. Other items are more difficult to classify and
include information copied from other sources with Linderman's notes on the
back.
Writings of Others contains correspondence and manuscripts not by
or addressed to Linderman that seems to have been collected as source
material.
The series is arranged chronologically by publication date of the
finished work; it is often not possible to date the manuscripts themselves.

Series VI
Publications
1885-1992
0.75 linear feet
This series contains published materials by, about, and collected
by Linderman and his family. The materials cover a wide range of subjects; most
are not annotated. There is a 1939 issue of the
Frontier and Midland featuring Linderman's writings
and a 1933 review of
Stumpy. Publications collected by Linderman include
those on mining and Native Americans. The largest group are those collected by
family members; many of these materials are pamphlets and other small
publications of the Museum of the Plains Indian. Most of these describe aspects
of Plains Indian history and culture, but do not seem to contain material
directly related to Linderman. There are also a few modern newspapers that have
articles about Linderman.
Materials are divided into four subseries: By Linderman, About
Linderman, Collected by Linderman, and Collected by Linderman Family. The last
two categories are determined by date and contents of the materials; there are
seldom annotations that offer any other documentation. Within these categories,
materials are arranged chronologically.

Series VII
Portfolios
1885-1984
7 oversize
portfolios
This series contains seven portfolios of materials by, collected
by, and about Linderman that provide a useful biographical summary of
Linderman's accomplishments. The first two document his career chronologically
and contain photographs, letters, and memorabilia. The third documents his
published books and contains correspondence with editors, reviews, and
photographs, all arranged chronologically by the date of each book's
publication. The fourth portfolio contains numerous photographs, memorabilia
from Linderman's substantial involvement with the Masons, and prints of Native
American paintings. The fifth contains correspondence collected for and about
Linderman biographies, and also includes photographs of Linderman, sketches
written by his children, and Linderman's own biographical notes. This
correspondence is largely between scholars and Linderman's daughters. The sixth
consists of photographs from Linderman's research files and includes
miscellaneous historical pictures of Montana and surrounding states and images
of Blackfeet, Coast, Cree, Chippewa, Flathead, Kootenai, Pend'Oreille, Oklahoma
and Sioux Indians. The seventh is a group of photographs taken of displays of
Linderman Native American cultural objects at the University of Montana's Mansfield
Library in about 1984.
The materials were arranged by Sarah J. Waller Hatfield,
Linderman's granddaughter, in the late 1970s and early 1980s in thematic
grouping; that order has been retained in its entirety by her request. Although
portions of the materials in this series date after Linderman's death and were
both produced and assembled by his heirs, the materials are mostly those
produced and collected by Linderman, and so remain in this series rather than
being intermingled with their genre categories. The only exception is the
photographs, which remain as duplicates in the scrapbooks but are listed
individually in Series VIII: Photographs.

Photographs
circa 1870-1985
525 images (2 linear ft. and
oversize)
This series includes still image materials produced and collected
by Linderman and his heirs and includes family portraits and snapshots, images
of early Western settlers (some of whom were Linderman's friends and
associates), images of Linderman displays at museums and other cultural
resource agencies, notable and important images of Native Americans in the
West, and a few photographs of forests and wildlife. The latter two categories
seem to have been collected mostly for the purpose of illustrating books and
other publications produced by Linderman. Many of the images were removed from
the portfolios in Series VI so that they could be listed individually. One
group of photos, "Buffalo Pictures," remains in its original album as the
photographs could not be safely detached.
Family portraits and snapshots include both formal and informal
images of Frank and Minnie Linderman, their daughters, and their grandchildren,
and date from about 1885 to the 1950s; there are photos of Linderman taken as
late as 1938. There are formal portraits of Linderman from his service in the
Montana legislature and other organizations, including the Masons. There are
images of various Linderman homes, notably the Goose Bay cabin, and businesses,
including the assay and newspaper office in Sheridan, Montana.
Images of early Western settlers and prominent Montana businessmen
and politicians include those of Duncan McDonald, Bob Vaughn, and W. H.
Murgittroyd, and Theo Gibson. There are numerous photographs of artist and author
Charles M. Russell. Other associates include Presidents Taft and Coolidge and
the literary critic Frederick Van de Water.
Native American images include those of well-known individuals,
including Plenty-Coups, Two-Comes-Over-the-Hill, Little Bear, Pretty-Shield,
and White Elk. Notable images of Native American customs include many
photographs of preparations for the Sun Dance and its accompanying gatherings.
There are also numerous images of Indian cultural objects, some of which may be part
of Linderman's collections.
The forest and wildlife photographs are mostly those produced by
commercial photographers, including the Glacier National Park photographer
Hileman and the Forest Service photographer K.D. Swan. The wildlife photographs
are largely unidentified as to location and date, but the species pictured are
readily apparent. The forest photographs are well-identified and include
subject, forest, and date.
Images of Linderman collection displays include those at the
Museum of the Plains Indian in Browning, Montana; the Western Heritage Center
in Billings, Montana; and the Mansfield Library at the University of
Montana--Missoula.
Photographers represented include Linderman himself, Asahel
Curtis, Edward Curtis, K. D. Swan, the Glacier National Park photographer
Hileman, Morton J. Elrod, and Matthew Brady. Image formats include albumen
prints, negatives, and modern color prints on cartes-de-visite (in varying
sizes), postcards, and printing-out paper. Many of the Native American
photographs are hand-colored. A number of the photographs appear to be modern
reproductions of historic prints and are of variable image quality.
The photographs are arranged in their original order as dictated
by scrapbooks and other housings. This gives them some thematic arrangement,
but the researcher is advised to look at the listed photographs carefully to
find all items on a particular subject. Many of the photographs have
annotations on the back that have been transcribed in this finding aid; the
source of these annotations appears to be Linderman and his family members, but
the full provenance of these identifications and comments is largely
unknown.
Some photographs depicting Native American cultural belongings with access restrictions have been restricted, contact Archives and Special Collections for more information. Restricted photographs were placed into a separate box. Folders from original boxes were not renumbered upon separation, resulting in skipped folder numbers.

This series consists largely of correspondence sent or received by Frank Bird Linderman about Indian tribes in Montana. This series is especially noteworthy for correspondence related to the conditions under which the Chippewa (Ojibwa) and Cree (Nei-yahw) of Montana were living in the early 1900s, and efforts to secure from the US government the land that is now known as Rocky Boy Indian Reservation. Other files in this series include information about Crow and Blackfeet language. These materials were loaned to the Museum of the Plains Indian in Browning in 1962 and returned to the Linderman heirs in 2006.

Linderman Artifact, Native American Cultural Objects and Artwork Files - RESTRICTED
circa 1880s-2011
0.75 linear feet
These files were compiled into binders by Sarah (Sally) Waller Hatfield to keep track of the artifacts and cultural objects that Linderman collected and include entries for all of Linderman’s acquired Native American cultural objects, some of which are not in possession of the University of Montana. The items referenced in this subseries that are in possession of the University of Montana can be found in series IX of the Linderman Papers. These files note the number assigned to each item by Linderman, appraisal information, and photographs of the objects. The files also feature notes from Sally Hatfield that record sales, loans, and/or donations. The object files were kept in the original order of the binders that Sally Hatfield created and are in numerical order of the objects according to Frank Bird Linderman’s numbering system which can be found in his “Indian Relic and Other Curio Index”. The numerical order of the objects also follows the alphabetical order of the affiliated tribes. Linderman’s original handwritten “Indian Relic and Other Curio Index” which accounts for the Native American cultural objects that Linderman collected, his collection of rifles, and other materials which were collected by Linderman can be found in this subseries. The photograph slides of the objects are assumed to have been taken in the 1970s while the Linderman heirs were trying to find a new home for the collection and were pursuing auctions and appraisals.
These files are currently restricted. Please contact Archives and Special Collections for additional information.
