The photos in this collectionwere taken on a Burleigh County N.D. farm that may have belonged to E. H. Stieger, Carl’s father, in 1917. Two short films in the Mary S. Garman Film Collection show this same Burleigh County farm in 1973, the Chateau de Mores in Medora N.D. and the Theodore Roosevelt cabin on the Capitol Grounds, Bismarck.
