192952116Los Angeles: Press of Schwabacher-Frey Company 1929. 1929.

A beautifully produced brochure detailing the amenities for both members and investors in the Peter Pan Woodland Club. Harry Kiener formed the Big Bear Land & Water Company to develop mountain properties in the east valley area of Big Bear City in 1925. In 1927 he contracted with Los Angles truck-body builder Guy Maltby to build a wooden power boat to be used on Big Bear Lake. While delivering the boat Maltby became fascinated with the project and formed the Bear Valley Milling and Lumber Company to build the Peter Pan Lodge along with over 600 surrounding homes in Big Bear City. This lodge was massive with five stories and included a golf course landscaping tennis courts swimming pool movie theater and for nearly two decades was used for parties dances and even Hollywood films. Sadly it burned to the ground on June 18 1948 and even though the smaller Peter Pan Lodge building was moved to the site it never recaptured the spirit and elegance of the original resort. Light soiling to bottom corners of pages along with faint tears to upper fore-edge of free front end paper and with slight creasing and with faint pencil annotations on front pastedown. Very good.

Dear Mother:- It is almost time for the brat to come back after mail for the south so I will tell you all we have been doing this week. Sunday was a wonderful day we took our lunch and walked out on theComing back we gathered seven kinds of wild flowers daisies buttercups violets wild sweet pea a light purple flower similar to our columbine only smaller a dark purple flower almost like our snap dragon and salmon berry blossoms. There are quantities of ferns everywhere. I have a centerpiece for my dining table made of a tin can cut down to two inchesWith much love for father and yourself Alice.b ALS. June 30 1921. Fort Liscum Alaska. Dear Mother :- If you could look in and see us I think you would say we have a very pretty and comfortable home. Out things arrived early Tuesday morning and they were all uncrated and mostly in place Tuesday night. The things which I ordered from Sears-Roebuck came at the same time.c ALS. March 13 1922. Fort Liscum Alaska. Dear Mother:- Can you image what it would be like to have a March wind blowing a gale with about three feet of loose snow on top of a crust That is what we have had for twenty-four hours sometimes we couldnt see the nearest houses there are drifts every where the most bothersome one is in front of our dining room windowsWe were all very much excited yesterday the order came confirming the rumor that Liscum is to be abandoned and asking how long it will take to get everything ready to be moved to Ft. Seward with about nine ft of snow on the ground we replied at least two months. George has asked for a Transport June tenth. As the order reads we go to Ft. Seward but George is still hoping to be brought back to the States and go to Benning. I rather dislike the idea of packing everything again in just one year!d ALS. May 21 1922. Fort Liscum Alaska. Dear Aunt Laura:- This is Georges birthday and we have been celebrating by having our first picnic of the season in a rocky cove down at the end of Swansport. We took frying pans and built a fire so as to cook beefsteak fry potatoes and make coffee. It certainly does taste good out of doors. In order to get to the camping place we had to walk quite a distance overa short play in which Donald made his first appearance on the stage he did better than I expected and looked quite grown up in a long trouser suit. All the children were promoted with an average of about 90. We have all had bad colds but are feeling fine today. We were very sorry to hear that Uncle Perl has been so miserable and hope he will improve a lot and enjoy the summer he usually feels better when he can get out doors more. When I wrote you after Christmas I thought I spoke about Helens Sash it is perfectly stunning with her blue corduroy dress and she was so pleased with it. Much love to you both Alice. unknown
