Finding Aid Title: A.V. Howard Narrative, 1926 February 1
Finding Aid Collection Number: 0431
Date Range of Collection: 1926-02-01
Creator of Materials: Howard, A. V. (Albert V), 1850-1935
Content Description: The photocopied manuscript is a single spaced typed document on A.V. Howard stationery which bears penciled corrections on various pages, likely done by Howard himself after proofing the dictated typescript prepared by his employee, Maie B. Hillis. The first person narrative describes Howard's arrival in the Libby area with his brother, B. F. Howard, and their mining operations along Libby creek. Other miners and claim holders are specifically named throughout the narrative, and some description is given to crime, social conditions, and the first buildings constructed in the town of Libby. Howard also describes business arrangements made by miners with each other as well as investors who lived elsewhere, including an unnamed Chinese resident of Missoula.
