While these photographs had virtually no notations regarding either location or dates, by looking closely at the content, it is often possible to add a lot of information about individual photographs. Pictures do speak a thousand words and in some cases potentially tell many stories and raise many questions. That is the case with these pictures and I wanted to share a couple comments with you and pose a few questions. If you have any answers, please email me at info@moosicmountainwild.com
