Photograph by J.W. Bledsoe when located in Traver, CA, which dates the photo to roughly ~1885-1888.

Men on Sequoiadendron

This is the Boole Tree in Converse Basin Grove, photographed in 1890. To my astonishment, the tree is still alive (in the photo it looks like they are preparing to cut it down). Image in the holdings of the San Joaquin Valley Library.
