[or-roots] Diamond Ranch, Oregon

[Anne Clark]

Glen,
I sent your inquiry on to a lady at the historical museum in Burns and she sent it to the curator of the history room at the  HC library.  From your recent emails, she may be the one already working on it.  Her name is Sandra Crittenden and she has done some reseach on the Robies before.
Good luck!
Anne Clark

For all that may be interested the history on the Diamond hotel is not entirely correct, Mace McCoy was a partner of my Great Grandfather Albert Hugh Robie,Albert bought out Mace and was selling to Pete French when he died, he was one of the men with Pete French and his cowhands when attacked by the Bannocks at the start of that war, the Diamond was the cattle brand that Mace and Albert Had and that is where the Diamond area gets it's name.

Glen,  This link tells about the current Hotel Diamond at Diamond, Oregon, near Burns:
Diamond Hotel in the heart of the Steens Mountain and Malheur area of Eastern Oregon
You might write the owners to see if they can help you find the pictures you desire.
There is also a museum in Burns that might be able to help you.

Hope listers may be able to help.
This past week I was in Idaho and picked up a book at the Owyhee County Historical Society,
Titled "Owyhee Cattlemen 1878-1978 100 years in the Saddle" By Mildretta Adams Publisher "Owyhee Publishing" Homedale Idaho, the book had a photo of my Great Grandfathers Ranch at Diamond Oregon near Burns, (A. H. Robie Diamond Ranch).
The Publisher and the Owyhee County Historical Society have no idea what happened to the photos after Mildretta passed away and many people includeing myself have inquired about copies of some of the photos in the book, all would like to know what happened to the photos or if someone has them, I have sent this same message on the Idaho Genweb, if anyone knows about these photos contact the publisher or me, it would be a big loss to history and genealogy if these photos are lost.
Mildretta was a Author and Curator of the Silver City Idaho Museum until her death.
