Historical Note

E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company is a chemical company, commonly referred to as the DuPontCompany which was established in 1802 by French immigrants Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours(1739-1817) and his son Eleuthe#re Ire#ne#e "E.I." du Pont (1771-1834). The company began as amanufacturer of gunpowder. The du Pont's purchased a mill on the banks of the Brandywine Riverjust north of Wilmington, Delaware and named the site Eleutherian Mills. In 1813, du Pont purchasedneighboring land which had been called Hagley. He retained the name and the area became knownas Hagley Yards. In 1837, E.I. du Pont's son Alfred V. du Pont (1798-1856) became President ofthe company. By 1850 Alfred du Pont resigned and his younger brother Henry du Pont (1812-1889)succeeded him as President.

In 1857, Alfred du Pont's son Lammot du Pont (1831-1884) developed B blasting powder, using Chileansodium nitrate instead of the previously used potassium nitrate (saltpeter) from India. This process wouldlater influence the company's decision to purchase lands in Chile.

After the Civil War, the DuPont company had two major competitors, the Hazard Powder Company,and Laflin & Rand Powder Company. DuPont took over the Hazard Powder Company in 1876. Laflin &Rand and the DuPont Company partnered in a joint venture which was spearheaded by Lammot du Pont,who in 1880 incorporated the Repauno Chemical Company to manufacture dynamite. His cousin Williamdu Pont (1855-1928), Henry du Pont's son, was appointed to help Lammot du Pont with the company.After Lammot du Pont's death in an explosion on March 29, 1884, William du Pont became presidentuntil resigning in 1892.

In 1890, at the request of the U.S. government, the E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company startedscientific research on smokeless powder. The DuPont Company began the manufacture of smokelesspowder at its new works at Carney's Point, New Jersey, in 1891 to 1893.

Inventor and chemist Hudson Maxim (1853-1927), sold many of his explosives and smokelessgunpowder patents to DuPont in 1897. DuPont established a laboratory for him where he continued toproduce inventions relating to explosives, ordnance, and torpedoes through the 1910s.

In 1889 Eugene du Pont (1873-1954) took over from Henry du Pont as President of the company untilhis death in 1902. After Eugene du Pont's death the DuPont Company was in danger of folding and beingbought out by its competitor, Laflin & Rand, when three cousins; T. Coleman du Pont (1863-1930),Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954) and Alfred I. du Pont (1864-1935) purchased the company. T. Coleman duPont became President and DuPont took control of Laflin & Rand, including the Haskell Works whichmanufactured Infallible and Ballistite powders.

Hamilton Barksdale (1862-1918), J. Amory Haskell (1861-1923), and Harry G. Haskell (1870-1951)were three key members of DuPont's Executive Committee. Barksdale became the director of the HighExplosives Department, which included research operations at Repauno's Eastern Laboratory. J.A.Haskell helped found the Eastern Laboratory and hired chemist Dr. Charles L. Reese (1862-1940),who was the first director of the laboratory and a pioneer of explosives research. H.G. Haskell workedat Repauno, was a DuPont vice president, a member of the Executive Committee and served on thecompany's Board of Directors.

Throughout the early 1900s DuPont expanded considerably. In 1903 DuPont established theExperimental Station, a research facility located across from DuPont's first black powder works. TheParlin, New Jersey site was acquired in 1904 to manufacture paint and photographic products. In 1904,DuPont purchased the Judson Dynamite and Powder Company in California, which operated untilAugust 1905, when there was a dynamite explosion and fire. The plant was dismantled and the propertysold. In 1905, Barksdale Explosives Plant in Wisconsin was established to produce dynamite and otherexplosives for the military during World Wars I and II, and for the mining industry. The Louviers,Colorado plant began production of dynamite in 1908 and provided explosives primarily for mines inthe region. Hopewell Works in Virginia was established in 1912 to manufacture dynamite, however, theonset of World War I created a great demand for guncotton. In 1915, Hopewell was converted for thatpurpose and became the largest guncotton plant in the world. After the war, the plant was sold off for


- Page 5-

other uses. In 1914, a dye works was constructed at Deepwater Point, New Jersey to enter the market fordyes left vacant by Germany's absence. In 1945 the plant name was changed to the Chambers Works.

With renewed interest in the nitrate industry Pierre S. du Pont and financial executive, John Raskob(1879-1950) traveled to Chile in 1902 and determined that the company should establish an office thereto deal directly with suppliers. In 1909, they purchased nitrate mines and began operating their owncompany.

Although Pierre du Pont had been acting President since 1909 it was not official until 1915 when T.Coleman du Pont retired. Later that year Pierre du Pont looked into purchasing the Norwegian NitrateCompany. He wanted to form the American Nitrate Company and acquire the North American rights ofthe Norwegian Nitrate Company, however, was unable to due to electrical power restraints.

A government suit was brought against the DuPont Company in 1907 and in 1911, the U.S. SupremeCourt ruled that the company had become a "powder trust" and was in violation of the Sherman Act.DuPont dissolved portions of its explosives business and formed two new powder companies; Herculesand Atlas Powder Companies.

As the United States entered World War I, DuPont was enlisted by the government to produce explosivesfor the Allied forces. Five plants were built to meet the need, the largest was in Old Hickory, Tennessee.The plant produced the raw materials for smokeless powder; sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and guncotton. Thesite was turned over to the government in 1919 and abandoned by 1923.

Pierre du Pont retired in 1919 and Irenee du Pont (1876-1963) became President of the company. In1920, the DuPont Fibersilk Company was established with a textile plant in Buffalo, New York. Theproduct was named "rayon" in 1924 and manufacture was expanded. Three plants were built in the south.DuPont purchased the abandoned Old Hickory plant to reconstruct it to manufacture rayon. There was aplant established in Richmond, Virginia and in 1928 the Waynesboro, Virginia plant opened.

By 1926 DuPont officially dissolved the powder production unit, although it had already been inactivefor many years. In 1926, Lammot du Pont II (1880-1952) succeeded his brother Irenee du Pont ascompany president. In the 1930s Lammot du Pont II constructed the first nylon plants in Belle, WestVirginia. The company continued to expand its scientific chemical research and innovations.


Scope and Content

The collection consists of photographs and prints that document the early history of the DuPontCompany's involvement in the gunpowder and explosives industries from the 1860s through the 1920s.The bulk of the collection are powder advertisements and photographs of employees, executives, andplant views, including aftermaths of explosions and construction.

The "Advertisements and promotional materials" series are predominantly posters, some originalartwork, calendars and photographs which date from the 1880s through to the 1950s. In the "DuPont
