Box 04

The Dennis M. Powers papers contain research materials including interviews and notes used in the authorship of several books

This item is a second and slightly different copy of the second in a series of three volumes of the journals of Captain "Dynamite" Johnny O'Brien. These are photocopies of the microfilm version of the journals housed in the University of Alaska archives at the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library in Fairbanks, Alaska. This volume covers the period roughly from 1889-1909. "The journals, handwritten in pencil, are a narrative of his life and were written between 1928 and 1930."

The photos are from the Hawaii state archives requested by Powers for his research. Included are copies of photographs of ships, ports, and political figures in Hawaii, mostly from the 19th century. Also included is some correspondence between Powers and the archives office.

These materials include three images of nautical scenes from the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center in Anchorage, Alaska. It seems the photos might have been taken in Nome, Alaska. Also included is the letter sent by the reference specialist to Dennis Powers.

These materials include four photos from the Museum of History & Industry in Seattle. The first three photos are three different ships, the Victoria, the Eureka, and the Utopia. The fourth photo is of Captain Dynamite Johnny O'Brien and a sailor. Also included are the order and invoice for the photos. The photos are undated.

These materials constitute a compilation of photos from Powers' research of Captain Dynamite Johnny O'Brien. These are a consolidated collection of some of the photos from the earlier folders in this box. They seem to be a first draft of photos to be included in his book, Tales of the Seven Seas. The photos are undated.

These items include photos and their related material request/permission of use forms from the various entities Powers collected them from in his research on Captain Dynamite Johnny O'Brien.

The materials include an early draft of a part of Powers' book, Tales of the Seven Seas and a short article on Jack London's Klondike Adventure.

The materials consist of a style sheet and page proofs for Powers' Tales of the Seven Seas. The page proofs are dated November 23, 2009.

The proposal is for Dennis Powers' book, Tales of the Seven Seas. Included in the proposal are photos to be included in the book. Presumably, the proposal is for a publishing company.
