Actually, I had no evidence to pursue them. With Osborn, the only thread is indirect. If you consult chapter 16 of my Dorr biography, you will find the effort of Senator Pepper to halt the Rockefeller road development program. Secretary Work holds a hearing in Washington to address several related issues, and Dorr prepared a 14-page summary of individuals and organizations who were present at the March 25, 1924 hearing or had submitted written testimony. The document reads like a "Who's Who" of movers and shakers of the era, indicating the depth and breadth of Dorr's influence. On a list "titled "Those who wrote in Support" is the name of "Henry Fairfield Osborn, President, American Museum of Natural History." I was unable to locate a copy of the original letters at the National Archives back in 2004 when this research was undertaken. Coincidentally, I found a NUCMC collection of Dorr-related photographs that were held at the AMNH. I contacted Mark Katzman, a photo archivist there in 2004, and he sent me copies of their Dorr Collection, 19 images, mostly natural scenery that Dorr used in his Sieur de Monts Publications that are his own shots; others are attributed to the Champlain Photographic Studio/Landscape, Park, and Garden Photographs in Bar Harbor, ME, apparently the work of photographer A.E. Dockham. Whether Osborn had a hand in establishing this collection was not germane to my interests. That is all that I've got! On another matter, I trust that you, Jack, and Betsy are satisfied by the evidence I provided from Ericka regarding the Oldfarm Inventory. Best, Ron Ronald H.

The talk will be in the college's Deering Common Campus Center, with morning refreshments provided. Goldstein and Mancinelli will discuss the Somes Pond Center, and Goldstein's vision for it, while touching on the challenges of tending landscapes - which are never static. Located on Somes Pond, on Mount Desert Island, the Somes Pond Center seeks to explore and expand public knowledge about the special landscape and horticultural history of Mount Desert Island. The center sponsors informal conversations with professionals from a broad set of disciplines. It also serves as a place for visitors, on a limited basis, to observe, enjoy, and study a rich, varied, and unusually shaped landscape. Author and historian Goldstein is also founder and executive director of Humanity In Action, a nonprofit organization that sponsors educational programs for university students in Europe and the United States. HIA's focus is on diversity issues and "pre-conflict resolution." Mancinelli, who holds the Charles Eliot Professor of Ecological Planning, Policy and Design at College of the Atlantic, has been a park planner and captain of the planning team for the General Management Plan for Acadia National Park. With her students, she has worked extensively with local communities on comprehensive land use and landscape plans, as well as with grassroots community planning groups. Entrance to College of the Atlantic's Deering Common is at the south end of campus. For more information on the 9 a.m. talk, call the college at 207-288-5015 or visit www.coa.edu.

Judy On May 31, 2010, at 3:52 PM, eppster2@myfairpoint.net wrote: Dear Judy, A few days ago I received the newest issue of Chebacco and was delighted to find A Path of One's Own." It brought to mind our Somesville visit last fall and your pride in the appearance of A Forest Garden on Somes Pond. Until then I was inattentive to the landscape changes that you and your brother had brought about through hard work and perseverance. I'd love to be able to walk the grounds now that I'm better educated to its development. I suspect that my wife and I will be long gone before your arrival on Mount Desert this June. I may return later this summer. The Dorr manuscript was completed in January and since then I have been responding to revisions from the editor, selecting illustrations, securing the necessary permissions, and responding to the inevitable new discoveries. Most recently, a cache of dozens of letters sent by George Dorr and his mother to to the family of George and Rosalind Howard, the Earl and Lady Carlisle, known best in this country for the Howard Castle so prominently figured in the PBS adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited. I've spent much of the last month transcribing--and analyzing--dozens of these letters for the Castle Howard curators and integrating my findings into the Dorn manuscript, reshaping the character profiles of both Dorr and his mother. The publication moves far more slowly than I would like, much of it a consequence of the very limited funding opportunities --in this economic climate--of the nonprofit Library of American Landscape History. Also, Ann Rockefeller Roberts withdrew her agreement to write the Foreword to the Dorr biography; I suspect that health issues were at the root of it. How have you been faring? I was so pleased to see you at Jack Russell's last September. I hope you have maintained contact with Horner and Russell family since then. Elizabeth and I intend to spend time with them during Brass Week. All My Best, Ron Epp Ronald H. Epp, Ph.D. 47 Pondview Drive Merrimack, NH 03054 (603) 424-6149 eppster2@myfairpoint.net Judith S.

Eliot Judy, Glad to hear that are safely on MDI. I too have two Dorr "bios" in the works: one for the Islander and another for the Friends of Acadia Gala brochure. I don't see any conflict even if some of the language is the same-- you can emphasize different aspects as I intend to do. For example, in the Islander piece I will give some newly found details about his years prior to the pivotal meeting in 1901 whereas in the gala piece I'll be focusing on his role as a trail builder and user; in both pieces I'll downplay the details that he recounts in his his popularly understood memoirs, The Story of Acadia National Park. Regarding your Eliot piece for the Islander I think you should emphasize the landscape as power theme that you develop SO well in your other publications, indicating the origins of this concept and why Eliot felt it necessary to transplant it from Massachusetts to Maine. Obviously there should be an emphasis on Eliot's life at Northeast Harbor as well as some characterization of the strengths that Eliot, Dorr, and JDR Jr., contributed as "The Triumvirate." And of course, any new insights that have not yet been published. Much of this could migrate to the FOA Journal but it might have to be more condensed. Your Islander piece can run up to roughly 1,200 words whereas in the past Marla at FOA has constrained me with a limit of roughly 500 words. Is that helpful? I think that the initial four "Founder" pieces will attempt to identify what strength(s) each Founder brought to the common table and how these changed over the course of their relationships with one another. Think also about suitable Eliot images that you can also deliver to Earl. Finally, my apologies about the earlier confusion about due dates. I thought that when you proposed the "22nd" you meant June, not July.

My wife and I will be vacationing on MDI June 29 to July 5th but that might precede your arrival. Do let me know. Several of us on the Spirit of Acadia Committee wondered whether you might consider writing within the next two months a 500 to 1,000 word biographical essay on President Eliot regarding his life on MDI, perhaps even with language extracted from your earlier works. Earl Brechlin has agreed to publish in the MDIslander during July and August a series of four essays on several of the "Founders": Dorr, Eliot, Rockefeller, and Stebbins. Paul Richardson has completed his essay on JDRJr., and Anne Funderburk of Seal Harbor has completed hers. I'll do one on Dorr and hoped that you would consider this. I can send you the two essays in hand to give you a sense of what we are trying to achieve. I am reluctant to suggest this "labor of love" since I know how much you cherish your vacation time on MDI.

I've received your comments and was little surprised by your comments. The "only the bones" approach is what I conveyed to you in our luncheon discussion. I agree that biographical context needs to 9/2/2003 Re: UVA Resource for Epp Page 2 of 3 be added at the outset for those unfamiliar with either party.

I intend to incorporate your remarks with a revision to be completed within a week or so. I have attached the original per your suggestion and appreciate your forthcoming revisions. I met with Ann Rockefeller Roberts on Tuesday morning. She sends her regards. We had a most engaging hour together focused largely on questions that seem to me to be unanswered in her "Rockefeller's Roads." We also talked at some length about the scope of the primary resources she consulted--as well as the relationship between Eliot, Dorr, and JDR Jr. It was a memorable experience of high quality. It is important to note that as we were parting she lamented that she, you, and I could not get together to continue the conversation.

You are SO familiar with the people and story that what you know is not often what you write about. For example: we don't know exactly who Abbe is, what did he do, where did he come from. Same for Dorr. These two key figures are really not introduced in full. They are just interacting. Also, I think that you might want to mention Dorr's big vision about creating a full culture of excellence on Mt. Desert in terms of music, science, landscape etc. Can you describe the Abby map, was it unique, how long did it take to make? Were these Indian museums unique? Was the Abby a pioneer?

Judy Dear Judith, I am putting in the mail for you this afternoon a copy of an address delivered in 1905 by President Eliot at the opening of of the Albright Gallery of Art in Buffalo. While the general theme is "beauty" he offers some interesting remarks on the power of landscape that echo what we discussed on your deck several weeks back. You may not have seen it. I have not yet completed MAJESTIC MOUNT DESERT but it has influenced my thinking considerably. I've recommended it and your earlier work to filmmaker Ron Gillis who may contact you in the days ahead. I may have mentioned him during our first visit; his production company is in Freeport. The Mount Desert Islander had a feature story on him in a mid-May issue. He received a grant this Spring from the NPS to produce a film of the historic carriage roads. We met at the Seal Harbor Library in May and have been collaborating ever since. Ron interviewed both Ann Roberts and David Rockefeller within the last few weeks. He is intrigued by what I have told him about the "triumvirate" and the power of landscape-however, he has not seen your writings to date.

Ronald: delightful to speak with you. I met Raymond yesterday. He has a 2 page letter that Dorr wrote about starting the park. Do be sure to meet Raymond when you get back. Would be delighted to have all the info that you have for the archive we are building for the Mt. Desert Center for the History of Landscape architecture. Looking forward to be in touch. Judy Dear Judith, Thank you for the opportunity to discuss the "triumvirate" last Thursday morning at your lovely home. I was just recounting for my wife the beauty of the setting and my recollection of dragonflies landing on the brim of your straw hat. I'm putting in the mail first class this morning your Majestic Mount Desert. Thank you for entrusting this to me! In the weeks ahead I will read my photocopy most carefully and doubtless will want to 8/22/2003 Re: Lunch with Ron Epp Page 6 of 7 pursue some issues with you via email as a result of this reading. Enclosed as well are the two brief pieces on Mr. Dorr that I recently wrote for the Friends of Acadia Journal. I wondered whether you might be interested in securing copies of correspondance between Eliot and Rockefeller (or Eliot and Dorr) that I've accumulated. None are from the Harvard Archives where I will be researching this fall. We didn't speak about whether your research included use of the Rockefeller Archive Center or the archives of the Hancock County Trustees of Reservations at the Black House in Ellsworth where many of the manuscripts are located. If you are interested I will cull them from my files and send copies off to you. Finally, I was much impressed by your identifying the "passion for natural landscape" as the key moptivation for Mr. Dorr's life work. It nicely jells with my own view but I think it needs to be fleshed out with examples as my book progresses. If any additional literature occurs to you on this theme please bring it to my attention. Again, my thanks for a memorable morning on Somes Pond! Ronald H.

Desert, ME 04660 Dear Ms. Goldstein: For the past three years I have been engaged in archival research for an intellectual biography of George B. Dorr. Your work has been helpful especially as my research deepened regarding the Mr. Dorr's relationship with Mr. Eliot, Mr. Rockefeller, Ms. Farrand, Mr. Hadley, Judge Peters, Bishop Lawrence, and others. I recently left phone messages attempting to arrange a meeting with you during my last visit to MDI in mid-May. Another visit is scheduled for July 9-11 and again I wonder whether we could meet and discuss issues pertinent to my research and related to your Tragedies & Triumphs. I am afraid that these dates are a week earlier than your scheduled guided walk at the Somes/Meynell Sanctuary or I would let that event serve as our initial contact. Might I propose that we meet at the Port in the Storm bookstore or elsewhere at a time convenient with you? You might wish to contact Brooke Childrey, Deborah Burch, Deb Dyer, Nancy Howland, ayxas or Bob Pyle regarding their understanding of my research. I'll contact you by phone next week to determine whether our meeting is possible. Hoping to make your acquaintance Most sincerely, Left message 6/19/03 Ronald H.
