Description
Photograph of Nevada County Views, showing logging camp near Truckee, ca.1910. In the extreme foreground at center, a small valve attached to a metal rod can be seen. Another valve is visible lying on a stack of wood. At center, several large logs are carefully stacked. A man stands between two large logs holding a large tool of some kind in his right hand. To his right, a man can be sitting on one of the logs while another man leans on the same log with his left leg. In the background at center, two men are visible beside a small generator beneath a crude structure. In the background at center, a mountainside consisting of only a few trees can be seen. In the extreme background at right, several clusters of trees can be seen along the mountain.
