City, MO, 1887-90; worked for Globe Smelting and Refining Co. (Denver) (1890-98), and Guggenheim Interests (later American
Smelting and Refining Co.) (1898-1921); following his retirement in 1921, he devoted much of his time to writing on historical
subjects; Wagner's interest in California printers and printing led him to collect Bancroft publications and prepare a bibliography
on the subject; Eleanor Bancroft, then Asst to the Bancroft Library Director, assisted Wagner on this project; Wagner died
Mar. 28, 1957; he bequeathed his collection of Bancroft imprints to the California Historical Society and left the nearly

UCLA, and subsequently earned a master's degree at the Univ. of So. CA; she first met Henry Wagner at UCLA, and became his

them close associates both in business and family life; in 1868 A.L. Bancroft and Co. came into existence and H.H. Bancroft
and Co. was phased out; the brothers continued their association until 1886 when a fire and personal differences caused them
to split; Albert went on to co-found the firm of Bancroft-Whitney.
