McCallum, D.Abstract:
Photographs show various homes and settlements: the Haskell homestead, Halstead's ranch, the Colony townsite, Camp Advance
(many views), a trapper's residence, camp of A.E. Redstone (a forest ranger in the giant [sequoia] forest), Haskell's cabin
near camp #1, and others. Other photographs relate to the setting of the colony and its operations: views of the Kaweah river,
Rubezahl falls, the colony bathing pool, Davis Flat in Colony Canyon, the Three Rivers post office, colony members in the
forest (including group portraits at the General Sherman tree), colony members working on roads and bridges, and the colony
tractor. Some photos appear to relate to a court case: United States vs. Burnette Haskell.
