This must surely be a break while making a Sunday run.

Anonymous said...: Richard Reynolds III is right, as usual, most of these Forepaugh-Sells photos [1-4, 6-8, maybe 5]were printed from a series of narrow negatives once possessed by P. M. McClintock, which passed via Fred D. Pfening, Jr. to the late Albert Conover. Most internal evidence dates them to 1906 [parade scene in post-San Francisco earthquake, Sept. 8-10, 1906; Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah, August 2, 1906] but there's also a tents view taken beside a train station labeled "Bryan," which was a Texas date on November 11, 1905. So, they're late 1905 to as late as September 1906.; 02 April, 2008 10:36
