- Cultural Context: Jesse Peter was a woodshop teacher at Santa Rosa Middle School and a good friend of Floyd P. Bailey who was president of the Jr. College at that time. Peter would conduct fieldexpeditions in order to gather specimens of various sorts for display at the SRJC Natural History Museum (which subsequently evolved into the Native American Art Museum). He solicited the assistance of college students to help collect the specimens and these photos are from one of those expeditions.
