19321252Various locations in California 1932. Very good. 219 photographs on fifty leaves most 3 x 5 inches; plus six real photo postcards. Oblong octavo. Original black cloth string-tied. Light wear to covers. Images crisp and clear. Many images with typed captions. A wonderful photo album documenting road trips taken in the Eastern Sierra and western Nevada in the area in and around Owens Valley. The photographer and his friends explored numerous mines and mining towns in the region braving the desert in their car. The album winds from Owen's Lake to the National Soda Products Company and the Estelle Mine to the tiny town of Keeler where they celebrated Easter. They continue on to the mining camps of Panamint City and Ballarat both now ghost towns. There are photographs of the town of Lone Pine the Cerro Gordo Mine Darwin and in Nevada the towns of Lida and Goldfield. They take an extended trek through Big Pine California staying in Glacier Lodge Canyon and spend time in Onion Valley. There is also a lengthy series of photographs taken out at Lone Pine California documenting the Universal Pictures film "Oh Promise Me" with images of the actors and sets and crew. An altogether fascinating album documenting the region of the Eastern Sierra and Owens Valley. unknown books
19041259Various locations in South Dakota 1904. About very good. Twenty-seven silver gelatin photographs and six postcards on eighteen leaves; photos 4 x 5 inches. Small album. Original black cloth manuscript label on cover. Light wear and soiling. Some images lightly faded; most captioned in ink. Postcards a bit worn and soiled. A short but interesting album of photographs documenting life on the rural South Dakota prairie in 1904. A later caption reveals a bit of the backstory for the album: "Edward Merritt and ranch in S.D. when he and Rev. E.C. Smith had a week's vacation 1904. Carson's Ranch" and the first images in the album are of Carson's Ranch located about eight miles from Bradley South Dakota. Photos include shots of the house the family outbuildings and agricultural work. One photo shows two wagons back to back on an open prairie one of them stuck in a rut. Two mules stand patiently attached to the wagon in the foreground and the caption reads "Wagon with 80 bu wheat in the mire in the prairie on way from Carson's Ranch to Garden City S.D. Mr. Carson is in the wagon." During the week on holiday the author traveled around the northeaster corner of the state in the area between Aberdeen and Watertown. Named places include Waubay Bradley Garden City and Bristol. Several images show the parsonage at Montrose and we presume this is the home of the accompanying Rev. E.C. Smith as Montrose is near Sioux Falls farther south. Several images taken on the prairie show the group out in a buggy. In the first the buggy is slightly askew with horses disconnected and passengers standing around. The caption reads "Rev. L.L. Layne and wife & Edward Merritt after the accident crossing a bridge near Waubay S.D." The next photo shows the group laughing and eating pies "eating dinner on the prairie between Waubay and Enemy Swim Lake." The next two photos are blurry alas but both relate to local Native Americans. One shows a hole in the ground labeled "Dug out where 'Iron Star' Indian lived near Waubay S.D." and the second shows a cabin with a horse out front captioned: "Residence Indian ponies and canoe of Blue Dog Indian Enemy Swim Lake Sisseton Tribe Sioux Indians S.D." Though not an extensive album we nonetheless find it fascinating for its glimpse into life in rural South Dakota at the turn of the century. unknown books
