San Pedro Martir 1903 - continued


Photographs from San Pedro Martir exploration 1903 of Walter Nordhoff and Ford A Carpenter (and others).

Continued from yesterday's post, the photo album compiled by Ford A. Carpenter is at U.C. San Diego Special Collections and Archives. A link to this album is below. When the link opens, you'll find a box "View Full Text" clicking that box opens the 240+ photo album for viewing.

From the U.C. San Diego Special Collection website:

Ford Ashman Carpenter Collection

Album containing photographs taken between August 3 and September 9, 1903, of the San Pedro Martir mountain range located in central Baja California. The album is bound in tan and brown cowhide, and the title is branded in the upper right-hand corner of the front cover. A newspaper clipping, four letters, and various ephemera are glued or laid in at the back of the album. Authors of the four letters are Walter Nordhoff; W. J. Forbes; John Oliver La Gorge, Associate Editor of the National Geographic; and Mr. Arnoll. The photographer Ford Ashman Carpenter (1868-1947) was a meteorologist who had various postions with the U.S. Weather Service from 1888-1919. He was a lecturer in meteorology at the Southern Branch of the University of California (now UCLA) from 1919-1930

My research into the Charles & Walter Nordhoff families and ties to Lower California continue.

John M--- Great find, thanks for this. I`m wondering about their route. There are pics from the east side of the mountains and canyons but how do you get pack animals up there?
