Memorandum from John W. Jay to George B. Hartzog

Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park has two recordings of frontier “old timers,” Benton C. Bird and George R. “Shy” Osterhout. The recordings are too fragile to mail but could be transcribed on tape. Superintendent Jay suggests contacting Harry F. Roberts, manager of the Chateau de Mores, who is knowledgeable of the early history of the badlands.
