E. P. Lamborn Papers

Manuscript Collection No. 156

Boxes 2 and 3 of the Lamborn correspondence are available on Kansas Memory.

Introduction

This collection reflects E. P. Lamborn’s life long interest in crime, criminals and law officers. It offers a unique look at the often romanticized periods of violent crime of this country in the late 1800s and early 1900s plus the roaring twenties and thirties. Much of Mr. Lamborn’s collecting centered on these notorious periods of crime. But, in general, the material spans a life time of collecting from 1913 to 1970. It would seem Mr. Lamborn spent a great deal of time as well as money to indulge his passion for knowledge of crime and the criminal element. Maybe the letter head of Mr. Lamborn’s stationery sums up his life and collecting best: “Historian of the Middle West, also collects miscellaneous books and photos of noted bandits-noted peace officers-famous detectives-buffalo hunters.”

Scope and Content

The majority of the collection consists of newspaper clippings dating from 1915 to 1976. They are arranged under several major headings: Bank Robbery, 1915-1970; Obscure Crime, 1913-1976; and Crimes and Individuals. Crimes and Individuals is a major category that is arranged in alphabetical order by person or general topic and the clippings in this category date from 1913 to 1970.

Smaller in bulk than the newspaper clippings but of great interest to the researcher are the “Correspondence and Research” and “Transcriptions and Research” sections.

The “Correspondence and Research” section should be noted because it contains a great deal of information about outlaws and peace officers at the turn of the century. Much of this information is from friends, relatives, companies, law officers, etc., who had some connection or dealings with these individuals. The arrangement for this section, generally, is alphabetical by last name of the correspondent.

The second of these sections, “Transcriptions and Research” is material that was copied from books in libraries and private collections. Mr. Lamborn’s notes from interviews with law officers and prison officials are also in this section. This was accomplished on several trips taken by Mr. Lamborn to Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

Of general interest to the researcher is the “Personal and Family” section which contains letters from family members and friends. Also of some note are early records of Mr. Lamborn’s employment with the Santa Fe Railroad. In connection with his railroad experience, the collection shows he was with the U.S. Army Engineers stationed at Fort Leavenworth during the last part of World War I. Tax records, personal loans, and land sales records indicate Mr. Lamborn remained on the farm at Leavenworth until his death in December 1978.

A large number of photographs collected by Mr. Lamborn have been transferred to the Society’s photo division. Most of these photographs are of outlaws and peace officers of the last half of the 1800s. Some of the photos were obtained from retired peace officers, prison guards, or company detectives. A large percentage are in the biographical section of the photograph division of the Kansas State Historical Society. It should also be noted that in the “Correspondence and Research” section there are a number of letters exchanged between Lamborn and Noah Rose about these photographs.

The donation of Lamborn material to the Historical Society included a large number of books. The majority of these books deal with late nineteenth and early twentieth century outlaws and peace officers. The collection contained an equal mix of fiction and non-fiction. A list by author has been compiled and is available in the Society’s library.
