    Scope and Contents

The album begins with images of a 1913 camping trip at vineyard in Sheldon, California. Other excursions include a 1913 camping and animal trapping trip to Lake Tahoe, which include images of their campsite and activities at Phillips and Echo Lake, and a 1920 and 1921 hunting expedition in the Bear Creek and Bear Mountain area near San Bernardino. In 1915 they traveled from San Diego to San Francisco via steamer, and there is a series of photographs depicting some their experiences in both cities. A detailed and extensive album, with many engaging images of early 20th-century California parklands.--Dealer's description.
