Climbing out of the Valley of the Virgin

William Henry Jackson
ca. January 12, 1867

At the end of 1867, Jackson and his friend Bill Maddern left for Los Angeles with Ed Webb's wagon train. Jackson noted in his diary that their route frequently passed over rough roads and "scenery wild beyond description."
