BIBLIOGRAPHY

Traditional bibliographic lists fail to indicate the relative value or frequency of use of resource materials. For that reason, the authors have combined the list and essay bibliographic styles. Specific references to resources can be accessed quickly from the Reference Notes associated with each chapter, and those sources are not wholly duplicated in the following bibliographic listing and essay. Rather, the chapter Reference Notes and this Bibliographic Essay should be considered complementary research tools.

Historical resources generally fall into two broad categories: primary materials and secondary materials. Primary materials usually are those considered to be contemporary with the event. Secondary materials are what others have said or written about an event. Letters, manuscripts, reports, and documents generated by an institution or agency are considered primary sources for the history of that institution or agency, as are the letters, memoirs, diaries, oral histories, and memoranda of persons associated with the agencies or involved in a particular activity or event relevant to the work or activities of that agency. Books and articles, even those technically classified as Government documents (such as a Regional History of the Forest Service published by the Forest Service) are usually secondary sources. Both categories of resources are valuable in the development of a history. Primary sources tend to define "history as it happened," while secondary sources, usually written sometime after an event and often evaluating the event in the context of other historical events or time periods, are helpful in promoting an understanding of the past. Each generation is constantly involved in the process of determining what happened in the past and in developing an understanding of that past and its application to the present. Historians seek to provide intelligent and trained assistance toward that effort.

Primary Sources

Manuscripts

Primary sources used in the history are largely manuscripts, documents, and interviews. Most of the writing derives from these resources. The major historical source, in terms of both volume and value, are the files and records generated by the Northern Region. These are on deposit at the Federal Records Center, Seattle, Washington, and in the Seattle Branch of the National Archives. Records generated by the ranger districts, national forests, and regional headquarters are filed according to Forest Service Handbook 6209.11—Filing System Handbook. At the Federal Records Center, each forest is assigned a Prefix Group Identification; materials are assigned an accession number, preceded by the general forestry designation (095), and a box number within the accession group.

Additional manuscript sources and historical records have been retained by the regional headquarters and by some of the national forests within the region. These have been stored or managed in various ways, usually by placing the records in file cabinets and giving the cabinets a very loose designation such as "Historical Files and Records." The Custer National Forest has a very strong historical collection. The Bitterroot National Forest has selected historical materials, some related local history manuscripts, and an outstanding photographic collection. The Nez Perce historical collections are useful, but at the time of the research these were physically scattered. The Clearwater National Forest has selected materials, which are very useful, and a good historical photographic collection. The Idaho Panhandle National Forests has an excellent historical file, a very well organized (by data base) photographic collection, and a good map collection. The Lolo National Forest has strong archaeological records and some oral interviews. The Deerlodge has a few scattered historical records. Other forests in the Region have relatively few historical resources. Manuscript sources are identified below:

Beaverhead National Forest, historical files, Dillon, MT
Bitterroot National Forest, historical files, Hamilton, MT
Custer National Forest, historical files, Billings, MT
Deerlodge National Forest, historical files, Butte, MT
Federal Records Center, Seattle, WA
Helena National Forest, historical files, Helena, MT
Idaho Panhandle National Forests, historical files, Coeur d'Alene, ID
National Archives—Seattle Branch, Seattle, WA
Regional Office, historical files and records, Missoula, MT
University of Montana Archives, Missoula, MT

The rather extensive files and records gathered in the research of this book have been deposited in the University of Montana Archives at Missoula.

Documents generated by the Northern Region are deposited in libraries designated as Government document depositories, but the holdings are often incomplete and difficult to access. Documents generated within the Region are not always accessed by the Library of Congress or other Government depositories: thus the documents used in this history are physically located in a variety of libraries and forest offices.

Documentary sources are, of course, voluminous. One of the most useful historical documentary resources in the Region is the four volume compilation of interviews with and commentaries by early foresters (Missoula, MT: USDA Forest Service, Early Days in the Forest Service, I—IV). The Region or forests within the region also have published a number of forest and ranger district histories; while technically identified as "documents," having been generated by a Government agency, these are secondary historical sources and are noted under Secondary Sources.

Copies of the Northern Region Press Releases are available in bound volumes for the years from approximately 1926 to date in the regional offices. Copies of Northern Region News also are available, and these are a valuable resource. The Region and each forest have independently generated documentary sources over the years. The individual forest plans are a prominent resource for contemporary history. These are in three or four volumes (some with supplements) and are summarized below:

Secondary Sources

Many of the national forests in Region 1 have narrative histories of the forests, written by persons who previously spent most or all of their active careers within the region. A number of these have been published by the forest, the region, or on occasion by private presses or individuals. Some of these history manuscripts have not been published, but instead are retained as part of the historical record of the forest or Region. Prominent published histories of specific forests include: Ralph Space, The Clearwater Story (1964); Charlie Shaw, The Flathead Story (1967); Wilson F. Clark, A General History of the Custer National Forest (1982); and Albert N. Cochrell, History of the Nez Perce National Forest (rev. 1970).

Unpublished histories available in the Regional Office include: Bettie Doetch, "History of the Kootenai National Forest," and Lewis Hawkes, "History of the Gallatin National Forest," (1988). There are brief manuscript histories of many of the forests, ranger districts, and ranger stations.

Books that have been published by private persons or presses within the geographical region and that bear directly on the history of the Northern Region include: Clyde P. Fickes, Recollections (1972); Elers Koch, Forty Years a Forester (n.d.); Elers Koch, ed., When the Mountains Roared: Stories of the 1910 Fire (n.d.); Kenneth D. Swan, Splendid Was the Trail (1968); Robert C. Gildert, Montana's Early Day Rangers (1985); Stan Cohen and Don Miller, The Big Burn: The Northwest's Fire of 1910 (1983); Stan Cohen, Smokejumpers (1983); and Neal Parsell, Major Fenn's Country (n.d.).
