Description
Photograph of a woman standing by a plaque on a wall in Big Pines Camp, [s.d.]. The woman is standing while stretching one of her arms on the plaque. She is wearing plus fours with a shirt and a tie under a blazer. The plaque is engraved on a wall made of stones, reads: "IN THE PINES. There is music in the forest of the pines as its murmur ever swells and declines: And its trees, though old and hoary, sing a sweet Aeolian story to the soul that for their glory e'er repines. There is beauty in the profile of the pines, in the shaft that never wavers nor reclines and their tops seem ever yearning for the sun above them burning--stalwart, straight and never turning are their lines. There is vigor in the odor of the pines, there's a wealth of hearty health in their mines and to him who hath the leisure to pursue their hidden treasure there is peace and there is pleasure in the pines. William M. Bristol. October, A.D. 19[?]5".
