Collection Overview

This collection contains photographs pertaining to New Bern, NC, c.1890's-1960's, associated with Joe Gaskill McDaniel (1910-1976) and the New Bern Mirror newspaper. Known more often as J. Gaskill McDaniel, McDaniel was the publisher of the New Bern Mirror and a respected journalist and writer whose work also appeared in other papers such as the Raleigh News and Observer. He was also a published poet (Vagabond Verses, 1931) and a charismatic leader in the local community who put on a Christmas pageant called The Yuletide Review with local talent for many years in New Bern. This small collection of photographs was found in an old trunk purchased at a rummage sale by the collection donor, Robert P. Majors, Jr., for the NC Railroad Museum (Bonsal), New Hill, NC.
