Scrapbook and Photo Album of John F. Stevens

John F. Stevens Papers (from an addition to the collection donated by the University of Wyoming), GTM-910726

Given to Lauinger Library in recent years by the University of Wyoming, these items offer a glimpse into the early career of John Frank Stevens, the civil engineer who earned fame first by his surveying of Marias Pass in the Rocky Mountains in 1889, and Stevens Pass in the Cascades the following year, completing the northernmost transcontinental railway in America. Stevens went on to serve as chief engineer overseeing construction of the Panama Canal from 1905 to 1907.
