Foster,
H. D. 1906. A forest assistant's camp on the reserve. 61919.
USDA, Forest Service, Umatilla
National
Forest, Pomeroy RD. Locality: T. 9 N., R.
42 E., Sec. 23. Size: 4½" x 6½".
Abstract:
The quality of this black and white print is good; most of
the foreground and background views are in sharp focus. The
caption associated with this photograph was "A forest
assistant's camp on the reserve. Since this camp is on land
on which cattle grazing is allowed, it is necessary to enclose
it with a fence to protect it. A wagon road leads to the camp,
as is evidenced by the presence of the surrey on which all
camp equipment and provisions were packed." This photograph
also appeared in a 1994 reprint of George A. Bright's 1914
report describing an extensive reconnaissance of the Wenaha
National Forest (see Bright
1914, and Bright and Powell 1994, in the history archives).
Bright did not use this photograph in the report, but the editor
of the 1994 reprint (Powell) included it in an appendix of additional
historical photographs pertaining to the Wenaha National
Forest. Camera settings: exposure 1/2"; stop of 128. Light:
Clear. Hour: 10. Direction: W. Column number 50 H053. [Note:
the camp is established in a dense stand that appears to be
dominated by Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir. Dead trees
(primarily subalpine fir) are evident in the photograph.]
