Biographical/Historical
Sketch:
Dr. Gilbert Hay Hoffman, Jr. was born June 26, 1932 to Mary Cain Hawkins
and Gilbert Hay Hoffman, Sr. in St. Louis, Missouri. Mrs. Hoffman was
a native of Vaiden, Mississippi which her family helped to settle in the
1830s. Mr. Gilbert Hoffman, Sr. was the only son of Frederick Ludwig Hoffman
and Ella George Hay. Frederick emigrated from Germany in 1884 and moved
from job to job in such places as Cleveland, OH; St. Louis, MO; New Orleans,
LA and then to the state of Georgia where he met and married Ella. Frederick
became a noted statistician with the Prudential Insurance Company (where
he developed actuarial methods for the insurance industry) and later the
Biomedical Research Foundation. He was involved in the work of numerous
national and world health organizations and helped to establish the American
Cancer Society.
Gilbert Hoffman,
Sr. died in 1935 and the family relocated to the Jackson, Mississippi
area in 1937. Gilbert, Jr. developed a strong interest in airplanes and
became the Mississippi Model Airplane Champion in 1948 and represented
the state at the national championships in Kansas. After graduating from
high school, he attended Mississippi State University where he received
a Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering in 1954. While there he
was involved in a sailplane research project. Thereafter he attended Johns
Hopkins University on an academic scholarship. He worked in Texas and
California for several aeronautics firms and attended Stanford University
where he received a Master's degree in engineering mechanics in 1962.
Hoffman continued working for the aeronautical industry in the field of
fluid mechanics, then returned to Stanford University where he received
a doctoral degree in 1970. After teaching for a year at the University
of Southwest Louisiana, he accepted a job with McDonald Douglas Corporation
in St. Louis. In 1976 he joined the Applied Research Laboratory at Penn
State University where he also served on the graduate faculty and helped
to establish the computational fluid dynamics program. He retired from
the Applied Research Laboratory in 1992.
Hoffman and his wife
Kalani returned to Mississippi in 1992 and chose to live in Hattiesburg
after surveying the advantages of five communities in the State. They
purchased the home of former United States House of Representatives Doorkeeper,
William M. "Fishbait" Miller, and Hoffman now has the time to pursue his
lifelong interest in the lumber industry and logging railroads. In 1992,
after years of intensive research, he published Dummy Lines Through
the Longleaf, a history of sawmill operations and logging railroads
in Southwest Mississippi. Hoffman is currently working on a similar history
of Forrest and Lamar counties.
Scope
and Content:
The Gilbert H. Hoffman Papers and Research Collection contains the research
notes and photographs which Hoffman compiled and collected for the book,
Dummy Lines Through the Longleaf, a history of sawmill operations
and logging railroads in Southwest Mississippi during the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries. In addition, it contains hundreds of other
photographs, both positive and negative images, of other railroads and
logging operations principally in Mississippi, but also from other locations
in the South and throughout the United States. These photographs date
primarily from the late nineteenth century through the first half of the
twentieth century.
The collection is organized into nine series, which generally reflect
the organization imposed by Dr. Hoffman. The principal organizational
criteria of this collection is the size and format of the material. The
first of these series contains more than two boxes of research files compiled
by Hoffman in preparation for his book, and therefore focuses on the geographic
area of Southwest Mississippi. These files are arranged alphabetically
by the name of the lumber company or railroad. Most of the lumber companies
had their own railroad for the purpose of hauling timber from the country-side
to the mills. In some cases, there were various successor companies and
other affiliations over the life of a particular operation. These files
contain research notes, photographs, correspondence with former employees
and other interested parties, copies of legal documents, newspaper and
journal articles, and other related information.
Series two contains more than one hundred and fifty, four inch by five
inch negatives of railroad locomotives, logging operations, saw mills,
and the individuals associated with them. They are arranged alphabetically
by the name of the company. Most, if not all, of these images depict Mississippi
railroad and lumbering operations of the late nineteenth and first half
of the twentieth centuries. As with the following seven series of photographs,
an accompanying box and folder list contains information about the approximate
date of the image, individuals shown, details concerning the scene, and
if the image is that of a locomotive, more detailed information about
the type. Origin of the image is also frequently noted.
Series three follows the same pattern of arrangement and description as
the previous series for larger five inch by seven inch negatives. Only
sixteen images in twelve folders are a part of this group.
Series four contains six, eight inch by 10 inch negatives, relating to
the Keystone Lumber and Improvement Company as well as the Norwood and
Butterfield Company. Both located in southwest Mississippi.
Series five contains the largest number of images in the collection, more
than two hundred and forty. These postcard size black and white prints
measure approximately 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" and were produced with 122 size
film. Like the other photographic series, these are arranged in folders,
alphabetically by the name of the company. Most of these images depict
locomotives. While the majority of them are for Mississippi or Louisiana
companies, a large number of photographs are for the locomotives of widely
scattered companies from throughout the United States.
Series six contains nearly one hundred and fifty postcard size negatives
which measure approximately 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" and were produced with 122
size film. They are arranged in folders, alphabetically by the name of
the company and are primarily images of locomotives. The majority of the
negatives are for Mississippi companies, with more than forty depicting
Mississippi Central Railroad locomotives. However, there are some images
from companies located in Louisiana, Missouri, and other states.
Series seven consists of both prints and negatives from 116 size film
which has a finished print size of approximately 2 3/4" by 4 1/2". These
seventeen images are arranged and described in the same manner as the
other series and with the exception of two images are all for Mississippi
companies.
Series eight contains more than thirty large black and white prints (6"
x 10") of Mississippi Central Railroad locomotives. Most of these photographs
are copies of prints or negatives that are housed and listed in previous
series of this collection which contain photographic formats of other
sizes and types.
It is the practice of the archives to designate each unique photographic
image with a unique number. Duplicate copies of an image bear the same
number regardless of the size or format. This two part numbering system
begins with the images contained in series two, four inch by five inch
negatives. The first part of each number is the Hoffman manuscript collection
number, M272. The second part of each number is a sequential whole number
beginning with the number one assigned to the first image contained in
series two (M272-1) and ending with the last unique image in the collection,
M272-620. These numbers are usually the last entry in each folder description
contained in the box and folder list. In most cases, duplicate images
are cross referenced in the box and folder list.
Since most of the photographs contained in series one, research files,
are duplicates of images contained in series two through eight, the numbering
sequence was begun with series two, four inch by five inch negatives.
However, thirty-six images (numbers M272-590 through M272-620, M272-158
through M272-160, M272-323,and M272-521) contained in the research files
are unique images,and therefore these photograhs and numbers are located
only in series one. In addition, for those images located in the research
files that were used in the book, Dummy Lines Through the Longleaf,
the page on which they appeared is noted on the photograph sleeve.
Series nine, the final body of material in the collection, contains maps
of railroad lines and sawmill operations in southwest Mississippi that
were used to illustrate Hoffman's book. The page on which the map appeared
in the book is noted in the box and folder list. The collection does not
include all the maps that appeared in the book.
This collection would be of interest to researchers concerned with lumbering
and sawmill operations in Mississippi during the late nineteenth and first
half of the twentieth centuries. In addition, it contains a wealth of
information and photographic images concerning railroads and railroad
locomotives, both in Mississippi and throughout the country.
