V1p336a In PHOTO ALBUM-VAULT: ** fc917.9461 A3, Vol. I, page 336 top. This photograph is contained in one of two volumes by Dobbin titled "Album of San Francisco." Text written under photo: "1906. Golden Gate Park. Boiling water for Drinking." Photo shows the pot of water that was kept boiling in Golden Gate Park after the fire, tended by what was described in William Bronson's "The Earth Shook, the Sky Burned" as an "old bearded miner." A soldier is drawing water from the spigot while several people look on. Text written to right of photo: "Golden Gate Park. This old gentleman erected the boiler which he used for boiling water for drinking. The city water mains were destroyed and the water in the Park was supplied from wells. He left his fire burning day and night supplying the thousands of people camped in the park with drinking water free of cost."
