Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of Webster Brain posing with rabbits, quails and his gun after a shoot in Irwindale. He stands at center and looks towards the camera. He holds a few rabbits down by his side at left. He holds up a bunch of quails with his opposite hand and cradles the butt of his gun in the bend of his elbow. He is surrounded by desert brush. Text from negative sleeve: 606. Irwindale, Calif. About 1900. May have been back as far as 1897. We used to catch the Redlands local out of Los Angeles Arcade depot at 8 a.m. Sunday, ride to Irwindale, just this side of Covina and get off and hunt quail and rabbits toward the mountains. Used to get fine hunting. Would come back to Irwindale and catch the Redlands train returning, which came thru Irwindale about 4:15 p.m. We all worked for the S.P. and had passes.
