Title: Henry Carl Wilhelm "Bill" Uhde and David Herbert Bailey in the Bailey Blacksmith Shop, Regan, (N.D.)
Date: 1914
Creator: Uhde, F. C
Inscription/Marks: [facsimile file-wrtten on reverse in ink] Henry Carl Wilhelm "Bill" Uhde in his blacksmith shop in Regan in 1914. WWith him is his son-in-law, David Herbert Bailey.
Summary: Henry "Bill" Uhde and his son-in-law David Herbert Bailey stand in Bailey's Blacksmith Shop in Regan (N.D.). An anvil stands in front of Bill Uhde and other tools of the blacksmithing trade are visible around the men. __The blacksmith shop was originally started in 1905 in Canfield Township by Thomas Isaac “Doc” Bailey and his brothers (David Herbert and Bert A. Bailey). “Doc” got his nickname because he pulled teeth in addition to being a blacksmith. Both the blacksmith shop and the adjacent grocery store owned by Axel Lundberg in Canfield Township (Originally Andrews Township) were moved to Regan in 1912. There the brothers David Herbert Bailey and Bert A Bailey took it over and operated it as the H. & B. Bailey Blacksmith Shop. In early 1900s, Bert left North Dakota to work for a railroad in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Herbert married Rosalind Uhde, daughter of William Uhde in 1913. The photo both in the facsimile file (where information about the images are recorded) and the Regan and Burleigh County History books list the date as 1914 and 1915 respectively. There is no indication that the name was changed to Uhde’s Blacksmith Shop, it was probably still the Bailey Blacksmith Shop and Herbert had his father-in-law come to work with him after his brother Bert left to move to Calgary.

Title: North Dakota Oral History Project Photograph Collection
Date: 1880-1977

Summary: Consists of copies of photographs belonging to people interviewed for the North Dakota Oral History Project. The Project was undertaken by Larry Sprunk, with the cooperation of the North Dakota American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, the North Dakota Farmers Union, and the State Historical Society of North Dakota. The primary objective of the North Dakota Oral History Project was to conduct oral tape recorded interviews with North Dakotans who lived through the state's history and who could speak of this history from a first-hand basis. Interviewees were photographed at the time of their interviews. In addition, the project borrowed over 6,000 historical photographs which were copied and added to the State Historical Society's collection. Many interviewees also donated family histories, documents, letters, ledgers, books, and artifacts.
