party in Yosemite Valley with names noted on the back, a view of the Nicasio Hotel exterior, an excavator at a quarry or pit
mine near Ione, California, the Presbyterian Church at Ione (photographed by C. Sutterley), staff in front of an unidentified
publishing house, a candy store and ice cream parlor interior, loggers felling a redwood near Crescent City (by Charles Suhr),
and a small wood frame church or school displaying large bells, probably in Marin County. Original cartes de visite portraits
of Clotilda Reed and Rev. John White, both of Marin County, are present. Several 1930s snapshots of an event at the restored
Fort Ross are included. Also includes two copy photographs of watercolor drawings by Richard Beechey (HMS Blossom) of Petropaulski
