This collection includes personal and professional papers; trial transcripts pertaining to cases relating to Native Americans; newspaper and periodical articles regarding E. Reeseman Fryer and related topics; several caricature drawings of Mr. Fryer; his autobiographical writings (he never did complete an autobiography); approximately 140 photoprints including about 40 framed prints, mostly b/w; printed materials including a limited issue publication with artwork by Kabotie; and awards and certificates. The collection as yet contains few papers of his wife, Ione Pierce Fryer (a distant relative of U.S. President Pierce).
Most of the collection pertains to Mr. Fryer's career in public service, notably in the Southwest in the Bureau of Indian Affairs among the Navajo, but also including records and correspondence from U.S. government service in North Africa, Bolivia, and the Middle East. At the time of its donation of these materials (24 linear shelf feet of unprocessed material forming accession 1998:07007, followed by a 4 linear shelf feet accretion that is 1998:09001), the family expressed its desire that the collection be preserved intact as a documentation of the life, with the understanding that non-Southwest materials of historical interest will be processed with the other materials but may not be given the level of cataloging access as the Southwest records.
Administrative information
Acquisition information: Members of the Fryer family donated these photographs (along with a large quantity of papers and printed materials and negatives) to the Center of Southwest Studies beginning in July of 1998. At the time of its donation of these materials (24 linear shelf feet of unprocessed material forming accession 1998:07007, followed by a 4 linear shelf feet accretion that is 1998:09001), the family expressed its desire that the collection be preserved intact as a documentation of the life, with the understanding that non-Southwest materials of historical interest will be processed with the other materials but may not be given the level of cataloging access as the Southwest records.
Provenance: The family explained that Mrs. E. Reeseman Fryer (the widow) had selected the most valuable materials each time the family had to move, which was often and usually intercontinental. The extended family (daughters, grandchildren and relatives) sorted some of the material further before shipping it from the couple's (Si and Nonie's) final family home on Jekyll Island in Georgia to the Fryer ~ Van Fossen ~ Ward residence in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. The family gathered in Pagosa Springs in July of 1998 to decide the final disposition of the materials and to pull from it any personal financial and medical records, and met with the archivist at the family home on July 21, 1998, when the collection was donated to the Center of Southwest Studies. The family had considered other colleges and universities as a possible home for this material but chose Fort Lewis because of its location central to the heart of the Southwest focus of this collection.
About the organization of this collection: The materials within most of the record groups in this collection are organized from highest hierarchical level to lowest, or from most general to most specific. Items within each series (e.g., reports, and correspondence) and within each box and folder are arranged chronologically, unless noted otherwise. The boxes are numbered in one single numbering scheme starting with 1; folder numbers start with 1 in the first box, and begin again with folder 1 in box 2. Plus, two document cases of newspaper clippings are housed at the end of the collection.
Processing information: The bulk of the physical arrangement of this collection was accomplished in the 1999-2000 school year by Anne Foster, National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) funded Archival Fellow at the Center of Southwest Studies. Todd Ellison supervised the process and did additional arrangement and description work, assisted at one point by Elizabeth "Liz" Miller, student archival assistant at the Center of Southwest Studies, who produced the folder list for this inventory in October of 2002. Student archival assistant Nicholaus Sandner produced the biographical chronology in the 2003-04 school year. This online inventory was prepared by J. Todd Ellison, C.A., beginning in January of 2003 (last updated, July 16, 2007).
Restrictions: Access to this collection is governed by the Center's General Restriction Policy Statement. Access to confidential items is restricted.
Related materials at the Center of Southwest Studies: For photographs by and about Mr. Fryer, see collection P 048: E. Reeseman Fryer photographs. Writings of John Collier in a compilation of articles originally published serially in the historic Taos weekly newspaper El Crepusculo (Taos, N.M.), from August 27, 1959 through circa early 1960 are available online. For descriptions of many additional historical materials pertaining to Navajo topics, see the Center's Pathfinder #5: Resources at the Center of Southwest Studies for research on Navajo Indians. Correspondence of the United Pueblos Agency circa 1952-1960 were separated out from the Fryer papers into their own collection.
Related materials elsewhere: Several Fryer items are described in the Online Archive of New Mexico. To locate the descriptions of these and other New Mexico historical records on the Web, go to the Online Archive of New Mexico search page at http://elibrary.unm.edu/oanm/search.html and do a search for the word Fryer. The Fryer items include an oral history interview with E. R. Fryer by Donald Parman in the American Indian oral history collection (1967-1972) at the Center for Southwest Research at the University of New Mexico General Library in Albuquerque. This is audiotape #890 (once you've selected that finding aid, click on the term "Contents List" from the box on the left, and when that opens, do a Ctrl + F search for Fryer). Interview topics include his family history, personal history, and his years as General Superintendent of the Navajo Reservation from 1936 to 1942. Several printed materials by Fryer are in the in the Robert W. Young Papers which is also at that Center (again, once you've selected that finding aid, select the term "Contents List" from the box on the left, and when that opens, do a Ctrl + F search for Fryer). These printed materials include a 1939 article on "Dineh and Government in Kaibeto District" co-authored by Fryer (Box 4, Folders 22 and 23), a folder of correspondence from Howard Gorman of the Navajo Service to Superintendent E. R. Fryer, 1939-1940 (Box 5, Folder 9) and a folder of Ramah Navajo correspondence, reports, articles and personal notes by John Collier, E. R. Fryer, S. D. Aberle, and Clyde Kluckhohn regarding administrative jurisdiction, 1941-1956 (Box 5, Folder 15).
E. Reeseman "Si" Fryer
(born in 1900; his first name was Era) served as Director of Soil Conservation Service Land Management Operations among the Pueblos, 1935;
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Superintendent of the Navajo Reservation during the New Deal under John Collier, 1936-1942; BIA Superintendent
for Nevada, 1948-; and BIA Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs, 1961-.
Mr. Fryer's daughter Sue has observed that it seems he was chosen for the BIA
responsibilities in Window Rock due to his work in soil conservation, which
was so related to the issues of overgrazing and stock reduction in the late
1930s. To the right is a typescript copy of a letter from that era to
Mr. Fryer from Tom Lewis, as told to his daughter Isabella Lewis of Sanders, Arizona, expressing his concern about the hardships of the
stock reduction and a plea for an increase in the allowable number of grazing sheep.
Biographical chronology
1930 – Fryer and his wife owned a guest ranch in the Sierra Ancha Mountains in Arizona. The stock market crash decreased the number of visitors, which put the couple in debt.
Winter 1931 and 1932 – Fryer got a job with the Forest Service at Parker Creek as an assistant to Dr. Charles Whitfield. He studied plants and soil erosion there.
Summer 1933 – Whitfield was promoted to Director of the Mexican Springs Experimental Station within the Department of the Interior. He offered Fryer a job as Foreman of Laborers. They gathered 50+ Navajo crew members to design and build erosion control structures.
October 1933 – Fryer was promoted to Project Manager to establish the Ganado Demonstration Area, a livestock reduction assignment. He worked primarily on his own with the Navajos with the help of two interpreters, David Hubbard, a leader from a distinguished family, and Hubbard’s son.
November - December 1933 – The Navajos were made to sell many of their ewes for slaughter to decrease the over-grazing of their lands.
March 1934 – The Navajos were made to sell more of their livestock by the Wheeler-Howard Act, proposed by John Collier. All livestock owners had to sell equal amounts, even if they only owned a few sheep or goats. Small owners were on the edge of survival, but the tribal council, the big owners, agreed with the plan. Each time, the government allowed Navajos to kill and store as many sold sheep as they could, which was a strange concept to them. They were used to killing sheep when they needed the food.
1935 – Fryer joined Eastburn Smith’s staff on the Rio Grande River in Albuquerque. He was put in charge of the supervision of Indian personnel working in association with lands and economic affairs in Pueblos from Taos to Zuni under Dr. Sophie Aberle, General Superintendent of the United Pueblos. Fryer faced many issues within the Pueblos: Generations of fractionation of land by succession and inheritance left many tiny valuable pieces of land too small to be useful; Too many range horses caused overgrazing, so many were sold at auctions.
March 30, 1936 – Fryer was appointed General Superintendent of the Navajo Reservation in Window Rock.
1936 – 1942 – Fryer’s Navajo Service brought about many changes on the Reservation. It unified six administrative jurisdictions into one Navajo nation. It constructed the Many Farms Irrigation Project and Hogback Extension, two projects which created subsistence opportunities for the landless youths without livestock permits. It established a flour mill at Wheatfields and a sawmill at Fort Defiance, and it organized the Navajo Tribal Arts and Crafts Guild. The following is an account of the many other changes that it brought about.
June 30, 1938 – The Fort Defiance base hospital was dedicated as the largest southwest medical unit. Dr. W. W. Peter encouraged cooperation with medicine men within the hospital, helping the Navajos to see the hospital as a place of healing. Dr. Peter encountered trachoma among the Navajos and did many tests before finding sulfa pills (oral) to be the cure.
1938 – John Collier wanted to create day schools within the community for Navajo kids. Scattered people made transportation and attendance difficult. Jake Morgan, a Navajo critic of the program, wanted children to get away from home to study the white man’s ways.
1938 – Fryer organized groups of Navajo District Supervisors to keep track of livestock and horse reduction.
June 36, 1938 – The McGinnies Report, a reduction plan released by John Collier, ruined the Navajos’ trust for Fryer. Howard Gorman, a Navajo who was opposed to Collier, was hired as an interpreter to help Fryer communicate some of the bad news to the Navajos about stock reduction. “Denehotso Hattie,” a Navajo woman, strongly expressed her very negative opinions about range management, making Fryer’s mission very difficult.
1939-1940 – The Livestock Disposition Project began in an effort to stop overgrazing of livestock. During the Depression of 1933 and 1934, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) canned beef. Fryer needed a cannery for the Navajos, and he found a FERA-owned one, free of charge, at Fort Worth. Fryer moved it to Many Farms. During its duration, it purchased 53,694 sheep units from Navajos, mostly culled sheep and goats. Mutton stew was shipped to Navajo schools and hospitals. The canneries employed 30 men and women, all Navajos, and no training was needed.
Fryer had to address some cultural considerations dealing with livestock: Navajos held prestige by allowing large numbers of horses to graze on their land, so they were naturally unhappy about the horse reduction plans. Fryer wouldn’t force the Navajos to dispose of healthy productive livestock, just the weak extras.
A Navajo revolt erupted at the Tec-Nos-Pas meeting. Witchcraft was used to threaten those cooperating with the horse reduction plans. Tall Man was one Navajo who used this technique. The Navajos had planned to attack Fryer after he finished speaking at the meeting, but his speech was different than they had expected. As a defense, men with guns had been hired by Fryer for protection. An assistant to Fryer, Ben Wetherill, wanted to transfer when he was threatened with witchcraft by Gani Choii. His two mounted policemen ran into trouble, Councilman Tom Claw lost two grandchildren, and Wetherill’s truck flipped, all seemingly due to the witchcraft. A couple of medicine men, Fryer, and Wetherill met with Gani Choii, and he admitted to witchcraft. He repented and supposedly repealed the spells, but Wetherill was still troubled. He later shot off his foot, was left by his wife, and died alone.
The Navajo Tribal Fair was established. These annual fairs helped inspire achievement in quality arts and crafts, health, education, life stock improvement, and land use among the Navajos.
Fort Lewis College archival student worker Nicholaus Sandner constructed the preceding chronological timeline from information provided in the book, Erosion, Poverty, and Dependency: Memoir of my Time in Navajo Service, 1933 – 1942, by E. Reeseman Fryer (December, 1986), during the 2003-04 school year.
