Our Homestead

Title

Our Homestead

Description

Sepia-toned image mounted on cardboard of a homestead, just visible at the base of a hill, with a large number of burned trees visible in the foreground and the background. This photo was taken after the Tillamook Burn, though it is uncertain which particular fire this image represents. Many of the smaller property owners whose lands were burned in the fires eventually let their lands revert back to the counties rather than pay taxes on 'useless' burned land.
[front] This is a birdseye view of our homestead.
