Yup. In dresses up the side of a mountain.
And still without the right to vote at that time.
the composition of this image is so incredible, the more I look at this the more I'm amazed by it.
That thing had to be heavy.
Surely not light, but huge variance if pine or some hardwood.
Oh of course. But I have carried something like that in pine and it is still very heavy.
