Fresno Flats,CA - Madara County - c1905 - Wagon Wreck Photograph :
Two wagons are being pulled from a gully. The scene depicted in the photo shows a series of pullies connected to horses. One wagon is almost out of the gully and the other is still on its side at the bottom of the gully. On the back of the matte "Fresno Flats Calif" is written in pencil. In pen "1903" is written along with a name, "Jeff .….". Fresno Flats is now a historic village and park near the town of Oakridge. The early settlers came to Fresno Flats, not so much for gold, but to raise families and live as farmers and merchants. This photograph could be a reminder of their struggles. Photograph measures 4 3/4"x3 13/16", black single matte 6 1/2"x5 1/2", medium contrast, and fair to good focus. Focus quite good on the almost rescued wagon and horses. Photographer not identified.
