Pursell Cabin.

Eva Pursell’s Cabin, Lake Arrowhead.

Eva Pursell’s cabin, Lake Arrowhead, CA. Year unknown. Shake siding, stone chimney, corrugated metal roof, timber porch, and a scrap wood fence. A mounted deer’s head, hammock, and a vase with flowers are visible on the front porch.  Horse manure in foreground, with what appear to be automobile tire tracks visible as well.

Photographer unknown. Eva was J.W. Bledsoe’s sister-in-law. It is likely the photo was taken by him, and he certainly knew the location.
