Description
Photograph of San Gabriel Dam construction, showing what appears to be a stick of dynamite, 1936. A hand from the right points to what appears to be a stick of dynamite tied with striped string. A long, thick cord extends through it from the left foreground to the right distance. A piece of metal with a piece of string tied around its base props the stick into the ground. The earth which surrounds it appears to be disturbed and discolored.
