  1. This is absolutely fascinating. Wonderful that he documented it when he clearly traveled so sparsely.

  3. Great series! Are there any more? Am particularly looking for Cajon Pass / Camp Cajon shots, if they exist. Traveling the National Old Trails highway, as the signs in this series show, he had to pass right by this Camp.

  4. These photos are fantastic. Thanks for posting them. I am currently writing an article for the Journal of the Missouri Historical Society about a similar trip taken in the summer of 1921. I'd love to be able to use a few of these pictures for my article. Who can I contact to obtain permission to use them? Thank you, sincerely, Robert Gangwere.
