HISTORY
Frank Forest Latta was born in Orestimba, California, in September 18, 1892, to Presbyterian minister Eli C. Latta and teacher Harmonia Campbell. Latta married Jeanette “Jean” Allen in 1919, and eventually had four children together. From 1915-1945 Latta worked as a teacher in the southern San Joaquin Valley, teaching mechanical drawing and agriculture. However, his true passion lay in the study of California history, a curiosity which was ignited when he interviewed early pioneers in 1906 for a school project. Latta continued interviewing and researching the history of the San Joaquin Valley even as he was teaching, which led him to stumble on to the story of an old white pioneer who had been raised by the Yokuts, an Indian tribe of central California. This man was Thomas Jefferson Mayfield, and his experience, which Latta published first as a series of newspaper articles, became the basis of Latta’s first book Uncle Jeff’s Story: A tale of a San Joaquin Valley pioneer and his life with the Yokuts Indians (1929).
Latta’s interviews with Mayfield led to a lifelong interest in the Indian people of the central and southern San Joaquin Valley, particularly the Yokuts and the Miwok. In order to better understand Yokuts culture, Latta studied different dialects and supplemented his knowledge by corresponding with anthropologists of his day, like linguist and ethnologist John P. Harrington, with whom he formed a close friendship. Latta also interviewed many members of the Yokuts and Miwok tribes, taking meticulous notes and eventually developing his own system to record the particular speech and memory of his subject. The interviews were so essential to his research that Latta would spend years tracking down individuals with first- hand knowledge of important events and stories. Some of his most important books, like California Indian Folklore (1936) and Handbook of Yokuts Indians (1949), drew from his research on California Indians.
Latta also contextualized his interviews with local Indians by continuing his research of early California and San Joaquin Valley history. He sought information anywhere he could find it, including personal and corporate papers, and more notably, newspapers. Latta would search for old newspapers and index and sort the relevant information, allowing him to publish well- research historical accounts of the area like El Camino Viejo a Los Angeles and Black Gold in the Joaquin, also published in 1936 and 1949, respectively.
Latta’s interest in history and California Indians extended far beyond academic research. In 1952, for example, he learned that allotments of some of his Yokuts friends were about to be sold by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which prompted him to organize people to stop the sale. He felt deeply that the problems faced by Indian people in the 20th century were directly related to the 1815 treaties and reservation system in the southern San Joaquin Valley, and thought that greater understanding of the causes of these problems would lead to possible solutions. This belief led him to help found the Kern County Museum in Bakersfield in 1941; YOSE 115196 2
he wanted people to know their own history and understand the history of the place in which they lived. Latta retired from teaching and worked as the museum curator and director from 1945-1956, allowing him to focus on history full time. While at the Kern County Museum Latta also established the Bear State Museum and Bear State Books, the one to house his collections and the other to publish his work.
In 1946, Latta and his family moved to Santa Cruz, where he established the Rancho Gazos Historical Indian and Early Californian Museum. He continued to write and publish books about the San Joaquin Valley, early Californian settlers and Californian Indians. Towards the end of his life, Latta wrote prolifically, publishing Dalton Gang Days, Saga of El Rancho Tejon, and Tailholt Trails in 1976, Death Valley ‘49ers in 1979, and Joaquin Murrieta and His Horse Gangs in 1980. Even with all these publications, Latta left behind a wealth of unpublished information when he died in 1983. Fortunately his papers have been housed and protected at several institutions. In 1987, with the financial assistance of the Yosemite Fund, the ethnographic papers of Frank Latta came to the Yosemite National Park Archives. These papers, inventoried below, are only a piece of Latta’s incredible legacy. YOSE 115196 3

DESCRIPTION
Index of Indian Names
Latta tends to refer to Native Americans by their anglicized names in his notes, but to their Indian names in his books. A cross-index may be helpful to correlate the two. Indian and anglicized names appear especially in Latta's field notes but also figure prominently on the notes for photographs. This list is alphabetical by Indian name, using Latta's orthography with anglicized name and tribe following when known.

ORGANIZATION The ethnographic papers of Frank Latta fall into seven groups: Field Notes, Correspondence, Manuscripts, Sources, Land Grants, Essays and Notecards and Research. Within those groups, Latta's filing system has been maintained for the most part. Field Notes and Correspondence are organized alphabetically by the name of the person or organization generating the material. Manuscripts are organized alphabetically by title. Sources are organized by author, title, or subject, as Latta filed them. In the course of his work, Latta amassed a large amount of material which he had some trouble keeping organized. He often developed duplicate files of the same name; these have been combined in the records here. Only in the Manuscripts group has that consolidation been difficult because Latta reused so much of his material several times in different publications or in different versions of the same publications. As much as possible, the manuscripts are organized in chronological sequence within each title.
PROVENVANCE Collection was offered by Mona (Frank Latta's daughter), and purchased by the Yosemite Association, which donated the collection to the park.
RESTRICTIONS NO
ASSOCIATED Associated materials include YOSE-04937 about 100 MATERIALS photographs which were cataloged by Latta's system, organized alphabetically by person, place, or subject name and are located in the museum collection. Uncataloged negatives (including nitrates, currently in freezers in El Portal); ethnographic pieces (baskets, basket material); YOSE 115196 6
ethnobotanical specimens (jars of seeds, etc.); newspapers (in valley storage, also bound volumes in El Portal); a few maps or drawings in collections room; some archeological material; books in the Research Library collection; sound recordings (vinyl and perhaps tape) and film footage.

SERIES DESCRIPTIONS
I. Series One: Field Notes, 1922-1970
The field notes are organized by the name of the person who was the source of the information. Anglicized names for Indians have been used for the files, but Indian names are presented as well when known. An index of Indian names correlated with anglicized may be found at the end of this inventory. File contents are briefly described and the more extensive files noted.
II. Series Two: Correspondence, 1922-1985
Correspondence is arranged alphabetically by correspondent or by organization, and sometimes by subject, just as Latta arranged it. Both sides of the correspondence are not always present; a file for a particular correspondent may have only Latta's letter(s) to that person, or that persons letters in response. Time periods of coverage for each file are proved in this listing, and important subjects of discussion or extent of correspondence are also noted when pertinent.
While the field notes were based on interviews or excavation reports and contain some correspondence, the correspondence files are just correspondence. There is some duplication between correspondence and field notes files, because Latta carried on correspondence with Indian people and early pioneers apart from his interviews and notes from field trips. For example, there are several files of correspondence with the Barrios family members, who were Yokuts, while the same family is also represented in the field notes files.
Latta and John Harrington carried on a long and close relationship. The Harrington correspondence, which includes the publications he forwarded to Latta, is included in a block at the end of this inventory of correspondence.
Subseries 1: John P Harrington Correspondence
The files are presented here in alphabetical order as Frank Latta titled them, but they have been collected from scattered locations and grouped together in their relation to Harrington.

YOSE 115196 9
III Series Three: Manuscripts, 1929, 1936, 1949, 1976, and 1977
Because of Latta's continual reworking of material it is not always clear which version of which draft a particular manuscript might be. As much as possible, the manuscripts are organized by the books or articles they were associated with. The manuscripts are related to the two editions of the Handbook. Files related to each edition are organized alphabetically, as Latta had things filed, with each edition or publication. Those manuscripts not associated with particular books are organized alphabetically by title in a separate group after the manuscripts related to each book.
Subseries 1: Handbook of the Yokut Indians, 1949
Subseries 2: Handbook of the Yokut Indians, 1977
Subseries 3: California Indian Folklore, 1936
Subseries 4: Uncle Jeff's Story and Tailholt Tales, 1929, 1976
Subseries 5: Other Latta Manuscripts and Publications
The files of these manuscripts are listed in alphabetical order by title or sometimes by organization, using the file categories Latta provided.

Folder 20. California Indian Folklore, 1939, 1979 One edited copy of the 1936 printing in a red binding marked “Revised and Corrected Copy to be used in publishing a new edition.” The endsheets contain printing notes for the new edition; most of the editorial changes are spelling and grammar. The typescript of the 1939 story of Henry Lawrence is laid in to be included in the new edition. In 1971, Latta wrote Charles Clough (see file above: CIF, correspondence and typescripts) that the manuscript for a new edition of CIF was “in the hands of the printer… In it I am using a number of Miwok photos. It is the Miwok data that has held back this new edition. It has taken years for me to satisfy myself that the Ethnographers have understood all they wrote about the Miwok. I have been unable to use much it.” This edited copy does not appear to be the new manuscript mentioned here, nor does that manuscript appear to be present in this collection of material. Folder 21.
