Latta Collection: Skyfarming, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Purchased from Latta Family Trust, October 1987 and gift of Monna Latta Olson, the daughter of Frank F. Latta, October 1987. Cataloger's Notes 1. The collection is arranged in six series by subject of the material. Several of the series have sub-series based upon more specific subjects (such as the sub-series Steamships under the Series Waterways). This was done to keep Latta’s original organization as much as possible throughout the entire collection. 2. Due to the original organization of the collection, Latta often put material dealing with several different subjects in the same folder and with the decision to not take items out of their original folders, some subjects can be found throughout the entire collection and not just in their corresponding series. The database for the collection will help in trying to find all material about a certain subject. 3. Latta did not put titles on all of his folders. In that instance the words “No title” or “Untitled” were used. The cataloger supplied short description titles on the folders for browsing and identification purposes. There are also a few instances where the title Latta gave to the folder is not correct for the material that is inside the folder; the cataloger then put the folder in the series related to the material inside the folder and not the title Latta used. 4. Latta often used a “genre” term on his folders. These were used to help organize the collection and will be found on the folder, under the title folder, as well as in the database in the field labeled “Genre Term.” 5. For the most part the folders in each series and sub-series are arranged in alphabetical order. Any exceptions are noted in the scope and content notes for the series and sub-series.

Most of that material can be found in their own sub-series in series one and four (Agriculture and Waterways). Although to find all material related to Miller & Lux, the database should be used. 7. Latta often sent out forms to people for them to fill-out regarding their family’s genealogy. There are approximately 150 of these “Genealogical forms” throughout the entire collection. They often accompany oral interviews or correspondence. Related Materials in the Huntington Library The Huntington Library also has a collection of material relating only to Miller & Lux that also came from the Latta Family Trust: • Frank F.

Biographical Note Frank Forrest Latta (1892-1983), son of Presbyterian minister Eli C. Latta and teacher Harmonia Campbell, was born September 18, 1892, in Stanislaus County, California. As a young boy, Latta worked on several ranches in the San Joaquin Valley and became interested in the stories of the early pioneers, and in 1906 began interviewing people and gathering research regarding early life and early farming in California. Latta also spent much time researching the farming corporation Miller & Lux and its founders Henry Miller and Charles Lux. Latta married Jeanette “Jean” Allen in 1919; they had four children. When Latta was not traveling the San Joaquin Valley interviewing pioneers or writing at home, he taught drafting and carpentry at high schools in Gustine, Porterville, Shafter and Bakersfield, California. Latta helped found the Kern County Museum in Bakersfield in 1941 where he worked both as a curator and as its director. Latta, who was president of the League of Western Writers in 1938, is the author of several publications including Black Gold in the Joaquin, California Indian Folklore, Dalton Gang Days, Handbook of Yokuts Indians, and Joaquín Murrieta and His Horse Gangs. Latta died in Santa Cruz in May 1983. Bibliography Igler, David. Industrial cowboys: Miller & Lux and the transformation of the far west, 1850-1920 . Berkeley: University of California Press, 2001.

The series also contains Latta’s notes for his book, illustrations to be used in the manuscript as well as captions for those illustrations. The folders are arranged alphabetically in Latta’s original order (as much as possible) with more general files including notes and individual chapter drafts following also in alphabetical order. Series also includes drafts of and material used in Latta’s manuscript entitled “Just Damn Lies.” Latta also used the title "Sky Farmers, Mule Skinners, Buckaroos and Bindle Stiffs with something about Sheep Herders and a Character or Two” for this manuscript. This book was never published. Due to the nature of this series, most of the subjects covered in the entire collection can be found here as well. This manuscript is the culmination of five decades of research by Latta in the San Joaquin Valley.

The folders are arranged chronologically by year of flood with general flood material following. The Miller & Lux sub-series contains Latta’s research material on Miller & Lux and their business activities dealing with irrigation, canal construction and water rights in the San Joaquin Valley. The sub-series is made up of documents, cancelled checks, financial documents, deeds, accounts, brochures, newspaper clippings, oral interviews, photographs, legal documents, company payrolls and annual reports, receipts, invoices and notes and manuscripts by Latta.
