Description
Photograph of a pile driver used on the flume over King's River, ca.1910. At center a structure is visible composed of two long wooden planks emerging vertically from the ground, while four planks rest against it at an angle. One man is visible sitting at the top of the structure, while another man is visible sitting towards the middle on a plank. Both men wear overalls and caps. Planks of wood are visible strewn haphazardly on the ground in front of the structure, along with a box and barrel. Dried grass and dirt are visible on the ground.
