  • G.W. Baumgardner. This photograph is on Album page 3 with the heading "Tuckaseegee River." The oblong hole in the cabin wall to the left of Mr. Baumgardner's head can be seen in the picture in "Our Southern Highlanders" (1922 revised ed., p. 288) captioned "`She knows no other lot"' and in the earlier edition of "Our Southern Highlanders" ( p. 225) as "At thirty a mountain woman is apt to have a worn and faded look". The same hole in the cabin wall appears also in the photographs of "Mrs. Alma Brown and Homer" and "Geo. Davis, the dwarf, and Homer Brown."
