Rawhide,NV - Mineral County - September 7, 1908 - Burnt Town Rebuilds (A) Photograph :
“Cleaning up the Ruins on Labor Day,” N.E. Johnson reports. Photograph measures 8”x3”, no matte, medium contrast—Photograph tends toward the grey, and focus is good. The image does vary in focus from sharp to slightly blurred. There is also some minor wrinkling on the photo. The activity in this photo is great. Three days after the fire, N.E. Johnson, the photographer, has captured a wonderful scene. A young boy poses next to a wagon in front of a leveled Rawhide. Horse and Wagon travel along the road in the background and perhaps a hundred men work to find direction for rebuilding the burned town. The reverse of the photo reads, “This picture explains itself, Sept. 7, 1908, Rawhide Nev.”. The photo is signed (Ole)Bowman.
