C. Barron McIntosh, Cass County, Nebraska

The C. Barron McIntosh photographs and lantern slides were collected and retained within McIntosh’s records and department files. The lantern slides were most likely used as teaching slides in early geography classrooms at the University of Nebraska. The photographs and lantern slides may include those taken by George Condra (GEC, Condra) , Frank H. Shoemaker (F.H.S., FHS), and others identified by last name or initial in the captions. Other initials on the slides are “L.H.,” and “NAB,” possibly Nels A. Bengston.
