Synopsis

From Back Cover - Bumping along rutted dirt roads in a horse drawn wagon, an intrepid photographer named Aurelius O. Carpenter carted his camera equipment across the frontier of Northern California's rural Mendocino County region. For nearly forty years, beginning in the early 1870s, he documented the lives of Pomo Indians and White settlers; the coming of the railroad, logging and shipping industries; along with the agricultural endeavors and the natural beauties of this area. This volume is lavishly illustrated with more than 100 duotone images. (Description by http-mart)
