Acquisition Information

See the Sierras from a Saddle: BANC PIC 1992.014--ALB 2 Robinson Pack Train, Allie W. Robinson, Prop., ca. 1930 Gift of H. Stewart Kimball, ca. 1992 Scope and Content The See the Sierras album contains 71 black and white photographs on 68 pages taken by Frashers Foto Company of Pomona California, probably in the 1930s. The album was prepared as a promotional tool for the Robinson Pack Train in Independence, California. According to handwritten information opposite the title page in the album, the pack train, established in 1901, was the oldest in Eastern California. Allie W. Robinson, its proprietor, offered to pack deer hunters and trout fishermen to the 200 lakes and 150 miles of streams in the eastern Sierras. The album includes views of many of these lakes and streams, including Gilbert Lake, Kearsage Lakes, Bull Frog Lake, Bubbs Creek, South Fork , Rae Lake, the "Sixty Lake Basin," Baxter Lake, Bench Lake, Whitney Creek, and Tulainyo Lake. Also included are a few views of Mt. Whitney and views of many peaks, trails, and other landmarks in the area including Onion Valley, University Peak, Kearsage Trail, Mt. Brewer, Glenn Pass, Dragon Peak, Fin Dome, and others. The album emphasizes the excellent trout fishing in the area with several photographs of fishermen and their catches. The captions in the container listing are the handwritten captions that appear on the album pages or photographs.
