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.]
