Details

Call NumberZ-7664Datecirca 1895SummaryMen pose beside a log balanced on a large rock in Bear Creek Canyon (Jefferson County), Colorado. A sign on the log reads: "If You Knew How This Log Come Here [sic] You Would Camp On High Ground." The men on the rock have sledgehammers, probably to dynamite the rock. A team of horses hauls a load of small rocks. Logs form a levee at the edge of Bear Creek probably beside a washed out road.Physical Description1 photographic print |16 x 21 cm (6 x 8 in.) mounted on mat board.SubjectBear Creek (Jefferson County and Douglas County, Colo.)Bear Creek Canyon (Colo.)Jefferson County (Colo.)Boulders--Colorado--Jefferson CountyFloods--Colorado--Jefferson CountyLaborers--Colorado--Jefferson CountyLogs--Colorado--Jefferson CountyMaintenance & repair--Colorado--Jefferson CountySigns (Notices)--Colorado--Jefferson CountyGeographic AreaJefferson County (Colo.)Related MaterialImage File: ZZR711007664Type of MaterialFilm negativesPhotographic printsDigital Version Created FromGrace Dailey.NotesFormerly F25875|Title penciled on verso.
