Abstract

Norman Leonard Jacobs was an engineer and surveyor with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in Canada. The collection consists of his correspondence with Bessie Frank (later Anathan), an acquaintance from Pittsburgh. Jacobs wrote of daily life in Canadian cities, interactions with First Nations tribes, and daily hardships encountered in the field (extreme cold, snowblindness, and lack of food), but also spoke of his work with pride and enthusiasm. In addition to the letters, Jacobs wrote twenty-eight pages of a "Diary of a Tenderfoot." Also included in the collection are two photobooks and various loose photographs, which display various aspects of camp life, details of work sites and landscape, as well as First Nations families, camps, and modes of transportation.

Background note

Norman Leonard Jacobs was born in Bath, England in 1885, the eldest child of Isaiah Woolf and Josephine (née Hast) Jacobs. His maternal grandfather, Marcus Hast, was the Chazan of the Great Synagogue in London and a collector and composer of music ( Avodat HaKodesh, 1910). Isaiah worked as the partner in a London accounting firm until its 1899 bankruptcy, after which he was employed in family businesses in London, Pittsburgh, and Detroit. One of Norman’s sisters, Ruth, married a Winnipeg barrister; after his early death, she supported herself and her son as a writer, gaining a large readership for articles and poetry written as “Sheila Rand” and “Wilhelmina Stitch.” Another, Dorothea, settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and raised a family.

Norman Jacobs moved to Pittsburgh in 1903 and spent two years working at his uncle Abraham’s insurance company, Benswanger & Hast. In 1905, he moved to Winnipeg, which he described with great enthusiasm and affection. He worked in the book department of Eaton’s Department Store for a few months, until he secured a position as a draughtsman in the engineering department of the Canadian Northern Railway. By April 1906 he was in the employ of the Grand Trunk Pacific and entered the field for the first time as a topographer. The survey teams were tasked with mapping routes that provided a four-tenths of one percent grade between the 50th and 55th parallel; by laying rail on such nearly level ground, the company aimed to travel through the Rocky Mountains as quickly as over prairies. Over the course of four years, Jacobs was employed in a variety of roles—leveler’s rodman, topographer’s rodman, quartermaster, topographer, leveler, head of a topographical and exploratory party, transit man, instrument man and draughtsman.

It was during his time with the Grand Trunk Pacific that he wrote most of the letters in the collection. The letters are to Bessie Frank (later Anathan), an acquaintance from Pittsburgh. The letters describe his life, the harsh conditions confronting the survey teams, as well as his impressions of life in Canada.

The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, incorporated in 1903, was built between 1906 and 1914. Its 3000 miles of track extended from Winnipeg, Manitoba to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The GTPR was a subsidiary of the Grand Trunk Railway, created in the hope that the transcontinental leg would help the GTR compete with the western track systems of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian Northern Railway. However, financial difficulties plagued the GTPR, and in 1919 the GTR was nationalized. Four years later, it was placed under the management of the Canadian National Railway.

Following the end of his survey work, Jacobs temporarily relocated to London, and in 1910 was engaged in post graduate schooling at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London. In 1911, Jacobs returned to Pittsburgh and proposed marriage to Bessie Frank; she declined. In September of the same year, he became engaged to Flora Baer, a former Pittsburgher and resident of Philadelphia’s Germantown neighborhood. The proposal to Baer seems to have been hasty, for shortly thereafter Norman departed for Canada once more. He became a partner in Nordquist Bros., a railroad contractor; legal action was brought against the firm in 1912 and 1913. After this, the record is silent as to Norman Jacobs' fate.

Scope and content

Series I includes 34 letters written to Bessie Frank (later Anathan) between 1905 and 1910. Letters written from Winnipeg offer Jacobs's positive impressions of the city and detail daily life (including employment in the book department of Eaton's, prior to work on the railroad). The majority of letters are written from Edmonton and various camps in the field. They provide details about camp life and the hardships faced by the surveyors: extreme cold, snowblindness, and lack of food. Two 1910 letters are posted from London; Jacobs finds the city crowded and unfriendly, and expresses pleasure at his anticipated return to Pittsburgh. The 28-page "Diary of a Tenderfoot," probably written in 1906, describes rail travel to Toronto, impressions of Winnipeg, and work in the field.

Series II includes a number of photographs, most organized in two photobooks. The majority of the photographs were taken in the field and depict various aspects of camp life and the Canadian landscape. There are also numerous images of First Peoples: portraits, family groups, camps, and means of transport.

Diary of a Tenderfoot
1905-1906 1.0 item ; 28 pages. 8 x 10-1/2. Some pages written on Grand Trunk Pacific Railway letterhead.Request File

Rail travel to Toronto, life in Winnipeg and in the field. Descriptions of camp life, wildlife, terrain and weather. Each of five parts appears to have been written on the same day, or at least during the same general period. Part 1 (pp. 1-4) describes the train to Toronto. Part 2 (pp. 5-10) describes winter in Winnipeg. Part 3 (pp. 11-16) was written on May 1 (p. 14) in the vicinity of Lipton and makes reference to April activities. Part 4 (pp. 17-22) consists of anecdotes of camp life and is incomplete. Part 5 (pp. 23-28) is dated June, on the strength of a reference to the "month of strawberries" (p. 27). The 1905-1906 dates assigned to the material correspond to Jacobs's arrival in Winnipeg and his first foray into the field, as detailed in correspondence. Descriptions of the difficulty finding water and nocturnal noises appear on page 22 (breaking off mid-sentence), and are then duplicated on page 23. This may indicate that some pages were intended as drafts or that a sufficient period passed between the first passage and the second that Jacobs forgot having written it or that the pages were intended to be parts of different works. (The varying titles assigned to different pages--"The Diary of a Tenderfoot," "A Tenderfoot's Notes," "The Notebook"--provide some meager support for the latter theory, though in those cases the pages are noted as a continuation of an ongoing work.)
