No other copy located; OCLC has a 1947 brochure for this camp which is still in existence today.Herbert Crate opened Camp Rio Vista in 1921 between Ingram and Hunt on the Guadalupe in Kerr County. One of the camp counselors was a young man called Roger Staubach, who later played for the Dallas Cowboys.Crate was the Director of the Houston YMCA. The parent organization had established camps along the eastern seaboard and Crate felt the idea would succeed in Texas.According to an article written by Jane Ragsdale in the Kerr County Album, Crate's first summer was not what he expected: He had been promised by a hundred men that they would send their sons if he opened a camp�however Crate found himself with 21 counselors, and only 16 boys. His words of wisdom for those who followed: �Never start a camp from scratch.�.…

A beautiful mammoth-plate albumen photograph by William H. Jackson of the Royal Gorge in central Colorado. Jagged cliffs rise steeply into the sky, and the track of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway comes toward us from the distance, running along the Arkansas River. Jackson used a slight time exposure in taking this image, giving the river a very fluid quality. The photograph is in a contemporary presentation frame, inscribed with the initials of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway in the bottom panel. This photograph was taken during Jackson's Denver era when he did extensive work for the railroads of Colorado and was given his own personal railroad car from which he based his photographic excursions and operations. This photograph is an example of the work Jackson did for the Denver and Rio Grande Railway. Jackson (1843-1942) began his career in photography in 1858, working as a retouching artist in a studio in Troy, New York. In the 1860s, after serving briefly in the Union Army, he worked at several studios in Vermont before moving to Omaha, Nebraska in 1867, where he established his own studio. He worked on an extensive series of views for the Union Pacific Railroad, which earned him enough notice to be recruited by Ferdinand Hayden for the U.S. Geological Survey team. With the Survey, Jackson explored and photographed vast areas of the West, including Yellowstone and parts of Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Nevada. In 1879, his work with the Survey at an end, he set up a commercial photography studio in Denver, marketing landscape photographs of the West. Jackson stayed in Denver until 1898, when he moved to Detroit. A beautiful image by William Jackson of this Colorado scene. Mammoth-plate albumen photograph, 22 x 17¼ inches. Jackson's name printed on the mat. Light discoloration in the sky in the upper center portion of the image. Near fine. Matted, glazed, and framed, with calligraphic manuscript title below the photograph. Contemporary wooden presentation frame (see below).…

A beautiful mammoth-plate albumen photograph of the mountains of New Mexico by William H. Jackson, showing a wintry scene along the route of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway. The photograph shows the narrow Toltec Gorge in the San Juan Mountains, through which the railroad ran its line into the Toltec Tunnel. Barren, rocky cliffs rise majestically in the background, while the foreground is dominated by the icy Rio de los Pinos. Jackson appears to have used a slight time exposure in taking the photograph, giving the water and spray of the river an attractive milky quality. The photograph is in a contemporary presentation frame, inscribed with the initials of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway in the bottom panel. This photograph was taken during Jackson's Denver era when he did extensive work for the railroads of Colorado and was given his own personal railroad car from which he based his photographic excursions and operations.

Very light spotting, a touch of light wear at the corners. Near fine. Matted, glazed, and framed, with calligraphic manuscript title below the photograph. Contemporary wooden presentation frame (see below).…
