Bruce,
Typicall photos of this vintage can be found through the NARA
(National Archives). Since the last time I purchased through them was
about 3 years ago things may have changed, but I think it takes about
6 - 8 weeks turnaround through their vendors (the folks that are
authorized to reproduce their imagery) and you have to go through one
of those to get the research done.

I used to do this sort of thing but am no longer. Good luck!

That is some tough land to farm.

I suspect they farmed down in Jugornot Hollow.
