Biographical Note
Morris B. Parker (1871-1957) was born in 1871, the son of Erastus Wells and Emmeline Brown Parker. He grew up in St. Louis,
Missouri, and spent his summers in Penn Yan, New York. His father purchased the South Homestake located in White Oaks, New
Mexico, in 1879 and the family moved there in the summer of 1882. He went back to New York for high school, where he studied
chemistry and assaying. He then attended Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from 1889-1892 as well as the University
of Missouri from 1892-1893 to study at the School of Mines and Metallurgy. Once his studies were complete, Parker returned
to White Oaks to begin assaying. During that same year he married Olive Genevieve McCourt. Parker first visited Mexico in
1895 and after staying in Nacozari, Mexico, until 1903, moved his family to El Paso, Texas. Until 1932, much of Parker's time
was spent in Arizona, Mexico, and New Mexico. In each place, he worked for various mining companies assaying ore and predicting
the prospects of mining claims. He retired in Hermosa Beach, California, and with the help of his daughter, Lina Parker Matthews,
was able to write of his experiences in Mexico and White Oaks that were subsequently published after his death in 1957.
Scope and Content
This collection consists of typescripts, diaries, notebooks, and photographs. There are three typescripts, the first was written
in 1941 and is an autobiography that details Parker's life from his high school days in New York to his times in Alaska, Mexico,
and New Mexico as a mining engineer and assayer, to his retirement in Hermosa Beach, California. The next typescript was written
in 1945 and is titled "History and my story about White Oaks 1880-1900." Partly drawn from his autobiography, this typescript
gives more depth into his families' life in White Oaks as mine owners and as a prominent family in the community, it includes
8 photographs. This typescript was published in 1971 as
Morris B. Parker's White Oaks; life in a New Mexico gold camp, 1880-1900 and was edited by Charles Leland Sonnichsen (1901-). The last typescript was written in 1947 and is titled "Mules, mines,
and me in Mexico." Also building upon information from his autobiography, this typescript covers Parker's life in Chihuahua
and Sonora, Mexico and his extensive travels throughout the region as a mining engineer and consultant for such mining companies
as Fortuna-North Tigre, La República, and many others, it includes 103 photographs. In this typescript he discusses the following
people: Plutarco Elias Calles (1877-1945), Britton Davis (1860-1930), James Stuart Douglas (1868-1949), William Cornell Greene
(1853- 1911), George Wylie Paul Hunt (1859-1934), William Colt MacDonald (1891-1968), Pascual Orozco (1882-1915), Luis Terrazas
(1829-1923), and Pancho Villa (1878-19223). Parker also covers the Mexico Revolution, 1910-1920 and conflicts with Yaqui Indians.
This typescript was published in 1979 as
Morris B. Parker's Mules, mines, and me in Mexico, 1895-1932 and was edited by James M. Day.
The diaries give accounts of the daily life of Morris B. Parker from when he was in high school to his travels and life
while in Alaska, Mexico, and New Mexico. The notebooks go into the minute details of his trips to various mines as a mining
consultant, engineer and assayer, including traveling conditions, itemized travel expenses, drawings of mine shafts, different
calculations of ores he assayed, and discussions of the cyanide process of extracting ore.
The photographs that were originally with the typescripts have been removed and placed into Boxes 5 and 6. Negatives taken
of the original pages that the photographs were mounted on are in Box 6.
