[This image is from the Jonathan Keith Esser Photo Collection, housed at the Forest History Society in Durham, N.C. Photographs in the collection were taken or collected by Esser (1893-1963), a forester and coal industry worker from Pennsylvania, during the second decade of the twentieth century. The collection includes scenes documenting Esser’s experiences while a student on Biltmore Forest School field trips to various forested regions of the United States and Europe in 1910 and 1911; while a member of a U.S. Forest Service reconnaissance team that surveyed forest conditions in the southern Appalachian Mountains region of the United States during 1912; and while apparently serving in the U.S. Army during World War I.]
