Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This scrapbook contains 109 original gelatin silver photographs, around 240 newspaper clippings, 7 printed leaflets, and 5 maps detailing the operations of the Grand Teton Oil Company located eight miles west of Driggs, Idaho from 1928 to 1931. This scrapbook was compiled by Frank L. Waller, the company's fiscal manager and field man. Most of the photos show the drilling rig and drilling sites (Blevins #1 and Bevan #1) but also includes photos of company employees and fishing excursions. Newspaper articles are primarily from the Idaho Falls Post, Teton Valley News (Driggs), and the Times-Register (Idaho Falls). This scrapbook provides a rare look at oil production and exploration for Southeast Idaho.
