The Uinta Mountains. View from Photograph Ridge, elevation 10,829 feet. One of the grandest and most perfect mountain views in the west. The foreground is a picturesque group of the mountain pines. In the middle distance, glimmering in the sunlight like a silver thread, is Blacks Fork, meandering through grass, lawn-like parks, the eye following it up to its sources among the everlasting snows of the summitridge. The peaks or cones in the distance are most distinctly stratified and apparently horizontal, or nearly so, with their summits far above the limits of perpetual snow, and from 1,500 to 2,000 feet above the springs that give rise to the streams below. Summit County, Utah. 1870.

Album caption and index card: Badlands on Laramie River. From the Chugwater, we cross table-like plains for 10 miles, and descend to the beautiful valley of the Laramie. The Tertiary rocks near the crossing have weathered into quite remarkable architectural forms, much like those of White River of Dakota. The texture is similar also, with marls and calcareous concretions, passing up into fine sandstone, which decompose so readily that valleys and the hills are covered with loose sand. Platte County, Wyoming. 1870.

Album caption and index card: View of the Colorado or Front Range from near Gold Hill, as seen from Bald Mountain, about 3 miles west from the Ward mining district, embracing a view from Long's Peak on the north, to near Arapahoe on the south. In the foreground is one of the little snow-fed lakes, so numerous throughout the mountains, and forming a pleasant variety to the monotony of numberless snow-white peaks. Although this view was made late in June, it will be seen that the hillsides are heavily draped in a mantle of snow, lying very deep through all the forest. The difficulty of reaching even this altitude was very great, requiring most laborious plunging through the thick timber and deep drifts. At the extreme...
