Scope and Content:

The John I. White Photographs are comprised of approximately 508 personal and research photographs and negatives of John I. White, singer, author, and expert on cowboy songs and music. Included are photographs related to songs and song makers of the American West such as Will C. Barnes, Badger Clark, Gail Gardner, Romaine Lowdermilk, Dominick J. O'Malley, Powder River Jack Lee, and other cowboy songwriters, singers, and scholars. Also includes photographs relating to White's persona as "The Lonesome Cowboy" for the "Death Valley Days" radio show in the 1930s. Research files contain photographs collected for plays, articles, and original scripts. Several folders include typed pages describing the events in the photos and giving biographies of the people pictured. Largely consisting of copy-prints, the photographs are comprised of mostly black-and-white silver gelatin prints, some color snapshots and postcards.

Biographical Note:

John I. White was a writer, singer of cowboy songs, and map draftsman. He was born in Washington, D.C. on April 12, 1902 and died in Maplewood, N.J. on November 26, 1992.

Some were recorded under his various pseudonyms: The Lonesome Cowboy, Whitey Johns, The Lone Star Cowboy, The Old Sexton, Jimmie Price, and Frank Ranger. His singing career culminated with his portrayal of "The Lonesome Cowboy" on the NBC radio drama "Death Valley Days" sponsored by Twenty-Mule Team Borax from 1929-1936. He maintained a lifelong interest in cowboy songs and the American West, researching and writing articles and two books on this and other topics.
