Photographs were collected by Ferguson
(1904-1984) to illustrate his magazine and newspaper articles and his book
The Port of Brownsville: A Maritime History of the Rio
Grande,1976. They were gathered from a variety of sources including the
National Archives, National Park Service, museums, and other federal, state,
and local government agencies. Particulary well-documented are United States
historic sites, monuments, state and national parks, events, and prominent
persons, but the collection also contains photographs from Canada and other
parts of the world.

Arrangement:
|
| The majority of the photographs are captioned
and undated and have been arranged in groups to reflect their association with
the article they illustrated. Each group of photographs has been assigned a
subject. However, the photographs in each group may include a wide range of
images that reflect the content of the article. For example, the group of
photographs concerning Stephen Collins Foster also contains images of the
Suwannee River. Similarly, a photograph of Boquillas, Mexico, is found in the
group of photographs of Big Bend National Park. Photographs of cemetaries,
forts, missions, houses, and other buildings are filed under place. Those
photographs that were used to illustrate the author's book are filed under
Brownsville, Texas. Because the book treats not only the development of
Brownsville, but also the history of the Rio Grand region, this group also
contains images of such Rio Grande sites as Roma, Texas, and Bagdad, and
Guerrero, Mexico, as well as a photo of the Bessie, the last steamboat that operated on the Rio
Grande River. A bibliography appended to the inventory lists citations to the
articles. |
