Stereograph photo of Mount Shasta and the town of Sisson in 1906

By California Volcano Observatory 1906 (approx.)
A black-and-white stereograph photo pair shows a horse-drawn cart advancing toward the photographer on a muddy dirt road. In the middle ground, an early-20th century hotel is flanked by other small shops and a single telegraph pole. In the background, a double-peaked snow clad mountain rises high above the town, faded with distance.
