Black and white image of a man standing next to what appears to be a large, mechanized, one-man cross-cut saw. The log lays along the right of the image, and has been cut into neat cross-sections. Museum records identify the man as Harrison Beaman.
Black and white image of three men gathered around a campfire. One man stands at the far side of the fire, near a table with pots and pans. Another sits on a stump at the right of the image, and appears to be feeding the dog at his feet. A third man leans against a bench looking over his shoulder at the camera. A dog noses about beside him, and two fishing poles lean against the front of the bench. A weathered wooden building can be seen in the right background of the image, and debris and clothing are scattered about the ground and on the bench and tables. A fishing creel sits on a makeshift table at the right of the image. Museum records do not identify the men specifically, but this image is one of a number of glass negative plates donated by Thomas Clapshaw.
Black and white image of a young woman leaning against a rocky embankment beside a dirt road. She holds a rifle in one hand and wears a light-colored skirt and a buttoned cardigan. Her hair is pulled loosely back and up away from her face. Museum records identify the woman as Grace Clapshaw Beaman.
Black and white image of two men standing in a dry creek bed. Each man has an undressed carcass (probably deer) draped over a shoulder and holds a rifle. The foliage is lush and full, and the creek bed rocky. Museum records identify the men as Carl Clapshaw and Gene Luton.
Black and white image of two women seated on either side of a smoldering fire in the forest. The woman on the left sits on a small bench and has a small dog at her side and a coffee pot sits off to the right of her feet. Across the fire, the young woman is seated on a wagon seat that has been set on the ground. She holds a rifle in her lap. Both of the women wear simple dresses. In the background is a wagon with blankets piled beneath it and several other rifles and an ax leaning against the larger rear wheel. Two horses, unharnessed, are tethered behind the wagon. Museum records do not identify the women specifically, but this image is one of a number of glass negative plates donated by Thomas Clapshaw.
A group of men stand on top of an incomplete wooden railroad trestle. They wear pants, long-sleeved shirts and hats. Two men stand on either end of a cross-bar below the platform itself, and the number '23' is painted in white paint just below the platform. The trestle is built of logs and stands in a steep defile about 60 feet high, and cut logs are scattered about its base. Equipment for building the trestle rises above the men on the platform, and in the background a train sits with smoke pouring from its smokestack. The hillside below the track and trestle is bare, while vegetation covers the hill on the upper side.
Photo of a steam locomotive, with steam coming from vent and a brass bell on the barrel. One man leans on his elbow in the window to the cab of the engine; another man sits on the back of the engine. His feet are held by another man, who in turn is sitting on the shoulders of a third man, who appears to be sitting on the shoulders of a fourth man. The man in the cab wears a white shirt and a dark sweater and an engineer's type cap. The other men wear an engineer's cap, a newsboy cap, and a fedora. The second man from the top of the stack wears a white shirt and suspenders; the other men all wear dark shirts. Behind the engine are thick trees, and ferns are visible in the bottom foreground.
Photo looking over a ridge towards another ridge of burned out timber. Some felled logs lie in the foreground on brown, dried out grass. Behind them white and black trunks of burned over timber fill the foreground, while another mountainside in the background shows signs of both clear cut timber harvesting and forest fire damage.
Photo looking down into a logged and burned out valley. Tree stumps, tilly humps, and leftover timber litter the front of the image. The two slopes of the valley in the background feature stumps of burned timber.
Photo of a burned off hill, with the trunks of burned trees filling the background. A dirt road and the debris of logging [small logs and random cut brush] is visible in the foreground.
Photo of a tree in the Tillamook Burn area. Photo is taken from the base of the tree looking upward. There are few bare branches near the top and the trunk looks burnt and almost melted. Three bare tree tops can been seen in the background on the left.
Three raccoon kits perch on a muddy tree stump. The trunk the tree lies to the left leading out of the picture, and the debris from logging [slash piles and leftover small logs] fills the image behind them. Standing trees take up the rest of the background.
