GALLERY
The following are 68 photographic images of life in the Pine Mountain valley. Included are scenes of logging, farming, visiting of homes, and the making of maple syrup and cane sorghum. Board of Trustee member, Barry Bingham Sr., owner of the Louisville Courier Journal, and his wife Mary, were among members of the Pine Mountain Settlement Board of Trustees who visited several families and some were photographically documented.
GALLERY 050 PHOTOGRAPHS is an aggregated collection of photographs assembled by Mary Rogers to accommodate instruction at the School. It does not necessarily represent one photographer or one era. See, for example, the following set of photograph negatives that is described as “Up Greasy and Down Laurel” that appears to be the work of Arthur Dodd combined with other images captured at the time.
A photo narrative by Marian Kingman of the Frona Cooper home are included at the end of the 050 PHOTOGRAPH series. Frona, a student at Pine Mountain Settlement, lived at Little Laurel in a remote and beautiful setting. Frona, her home, and family are represented in the photographs.
