Description |
Laborers of the Crystal Springs Dam, c. 1887-1888. A large number of construction workers, and several horse-drawn wagons, are shown. There is a group of about 15 well-dressed men and women, clearly not construction workers, posing in the center of the frame. None of the people are identified. A shed is on a slope in the center background, and a sluice or conveyor is to the right. There are two more structures on the left farther back. The dam is not visible. |
