bioghist: label: Biographical/Historical note
content: Eugene O. Leonard (1884-1964) moved to Pocatello, Idaho, in 1893 to live with his aunt, the widow of A. L. Cook and owner of the Cook building and drugstore.  Leonard attended Weiser College and Academy (now College of Idaho), Whitman College, and Northwestern University.  He acquired degrees in phamacy and pharmaceutical chemistry from Northwestern University, and a degree in assaying studies from the Chicago College of Chemistry.  After graduation from the College in 1908, Leonard returned to Pocatello to manage the Cook Drug Store until 1918.  He worked as Pocatello City Chemist and set up the College of Pharmacy at Idaho State College, where he also taught and served as dean (1918-1954).  In the 1930s, Leonard obtained a MS and PhD from Utah State University.  Possibly encouraged by his collector aunt, Leonard established a collection of Native material culture objects and documentations, including artifacts and these photograhs, based on his interest in the Shoshoni and Bannock tribes at nearby Fort Hall.
