    Did You Know That...? Volume 4 Snapshots ABERCROMBIE, TOM (1930-2006) Adventurer & Award-Winning Photographer for National Geographic One of the individuals most responsible for making millions of people more aware of geography was a prize-winning photographer who began his professional career with the Fargo Forum. Later, Tom Abercrombie frequently risked his safety and life as he photographed and gathered information for 43 National Geographic articles. Abercrombie was the first person to win both the Newspaper Photographer of the Year and the Magazine Photographer of the Year awards. The Abercrombie Crests in Antarctica are named in his honor. BASS, MAX (1853-1909) The Man Who Enticed Over 100,000 People to Move to North Dakota Only one North Dakota town can be confirmed to contain both the first and last name of the man it is named after. Maxbass, in western Bottineau County, received it name from Max Bass, an immigration agent who was responsible for thousands of people settling in North Dakota in the 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century. In 1902, a Fargo magazine wrote, “To him more than 100,000 people in North Dakota owe their first knowledge of the state, his labors having brought even more than that number to the state.” It is without question that Max Bass was significantly instrumental in assisting the growth of what is now North Dakota from 150,000 people in 1885 to over 500,000 in 1910. BLACKBURN, WILLIAM (1828-1898) First President of UND and a Noted Theological Scholar The first president of the University of North Dakota was also a noted writer -- the author of over 30 books.
