Message Board Post:
The initials might not be exact! The Hanover College Rivers Institute website mentions a
collection of black-and-white photographs at the Indiana Historical Society called the
"B. F. Callis Collection." These photographs and manuscripts date from the
1860s to 1940. I can't find a B. F. Callis anywhere and wonder if there is a typo and
it's really the B. R. Callis Collection because my grandfather, Burr Redford Callis,
was passionately interested in riverboats. If anyone knows of a B. F. Callis or can shed
any other light on this, please let me know. (I have sent an email to these institutions
but haven't heard back.)
