The type of construction used for the barracks at Camp MacKall and the above hospital is called a “theatre of operations.”  Built on pilings and constructed of green sawed pine boards which is then covered with type 4 black tar paper.  The wood was cut from trees on the camp property using 7 sawmills running 24/7.  When the boards dried out, the 2 pot-bellied stoves were incapable of keeping the men warm.  Smitty spent some time at that hospital when…

When his father died in 1846, Levi immigrated to the United States together with his mother. He was eighteen years old at that time. He arrived in New York City and joined his brothers who already established a dry goods business. Later, he moved westward to Kentucky and then to San Francisco, California after the Gold Rush. There he opened his own store where he sold dry goods such as clothes and footwear. He called his store Levi Straus and Co.

One day in 1872, Levi received a letter from one of his customers. His name was Jacob Davis from the State of Nevada. In the letter, he told of his new way of making pants and that he needed Levi’s financial help to get a patent for his idea.

The many names for this plant are reflective of how wide spread it is. Called Arisaema triphyllum (scientific name), jack-in-the-pulpit, bog onion, brown dragon, Indian turnip, American wake robin, or wild turnip this secretive plant flourishes in moist soils across eastern North America, everywhere north to south. I say “secretive” because the varieties I am familiar with hide the flower under the leaves, three of them growing from a stalk.

Those of you who know Georgia O’Keefe may be familiar with the form and coloring of Jack-in-the-pulpit from the series of six oil canvasses from 1930, her time in the east living near a spring. There is a spathe, the pulpit, strongly colored in dramatic vertical, flowing stripes, wrapped around a spandix, the “jack”, being a stem covered with male and female flowers.

Around the time my photography habit started…
