B/W Photograph
Jesse Peter (L) and Ed Lyman (R) standing in the recessed doorway of a brick building (possibly the Union Bar ?). The wall adjacent to the doorway has two large posters advertising the "Tom Mix Circus of the Wild West" in Roseville on April 17th and Grass Valley on April 19th. A sign under a window in the doorway advertises tobacco: "Yes, I said 10¢ MODEL smoking tobacco".

- 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.
