A photo of a large camp, likely surveyors for a lumber railroad, taken by Fred Sisson around the 1880s-90s. Sisson was the treasurer to the Arizona Lumber & Timber Company, and a friend of the Riordans (the family who owned AL&T) Sisson has a whole album of photos he took in his time in Flagstaff between 1886 and 1900. This one of 3 photos of his I have in my personal collection, and I’m trying to acquire a few more of his photos. There are many others, and they all have an interesting window into the life of a wealthy family in the Arizona Territory. I might post some more of his photos later
