We’ve seen a booklet like this before, with a cover illustration by John Segesman and text by Frederick Niven. When I presented the other booklet, I noted that the White Pass Route issued several such booklets over the years, probably in the 1930s, and included several covers by Segesman. I specifically said I thought this one was a later booklet because of its more modern, semi-abstract style.

Now that I have a copy of this booklet, I’ve changed my mind. The other booklet has seven or eight other color paintings by Segesman that must have been costly to reproduce, while this one only has the cover painting. So I suspect this was the earlier one and the editions with more color interiors came out as print costs declined and/or the economy recovered from the Depression.

What little I can find out about John Segesman is that he was born in Spokane in 1899, studied art in Seattle and Chicago, and eventually settled back in Spokane where he did wildlife and Indian paintings, and died in 1985.

I had a difficult time learning about Frederick Niven mainly because his signature looks enough like “Hiren” then every book dealer selling copies of this booklet used that name. It turns out Niven wrote thirty novels and some non-fiction books, mostly about western Canada, but also some about Scotland, where he grew up. He was born in Chile in 1878, lived most of his adult life near Nelson, British Columbia, and died in 1944.

The two booklets use similar text by Niven. However, there are some significant differences. Several paragraphs from this booklet were edited out of the other version, possibly to make room for Segesman’s beautiful color paintings. Some of the remaining text was rewritten slightly and a few sentences are in the other edition that aren’t in this one.

Neither of the booklets are dated, but both refer to British Columbian Otto Partridge, who with his wife Kate entertained White Pass travelers, in the past tense. Partridge died in 1930, so the booklets are after that. Niven never met Otto but he met his wife shortly after Otto died and wrote up their life stories in Canadian Home Journal.

This booklet has several endorsements in the back, one of which was written by Princeton University President John Grier [misspelled Greer in the booklet] Hibben. Hibben died in an auto accident in 1933, so I doubt this booklet is from after that year. I tentatively date it to 1932.

Both booklets have a list of White Pass officers in the back, and some of the names are different, so we could pin down the dates if we knew who held which office when.
