Caption

Text from negative sleeve: 418. Duarte about 1897. Uncle Frank Lemberger then lived in Monrovia. He used to hunt rabbits in the Duarte wash. I took father out one Sunday, furnishing him with a gun, and Uncle Frank, father and I walked out east of Monrovia to the Duarte wash. I got the one and only rabbit all day.
