Harry La Montagne

[2] Educated at the Académie Julian in Paris, Harry was the brother-in-law of Nobel Peace Prize recipient Nicholas Murray Butler.

She was reported as ill in 1898 and was listed on a joint passport application in 1899, but there is no trace of her when Harry La Montagne held the post of General Manager at the Golden Link Mining Company in Arizona in 1905.

[11] After the couple’s return to the United States, they spent time between Narragansett, New York and Aiken, South Carolina, where the La Montagnes hunted with Frederick Henry Prince and John Harvey Wright Junior, present and past Masters of the Pau Hounds.

[12] In 1917, La Montagne enlisted at the age of 47 and served in France attaining the rank of major and was the recipient of the French Légion of Honor on May 16, 1919.

This collection consists of two sketchbook albums and 82 postcard Pau Hunt Meet notices with watercolor, gouache and ink designs Harry La Montagne offered to Miss Dewavrin.
