When an avalanche hit Alta, Utah, survivors buried themselves alive in bunkers until citizens could hopefully dig them out, just like these folks did, searching for survivors (or the dead) after a snowslide along Alaska’s Dyea Trail on April 3, 1898.

Glenn Chartrand There was the story of a saddle bum showing up at a ranch to mooch a meal off of the cowboys & he was served macaroni & beans. So as he left the ranch he lassoed a cow & took a running branding iron & marked the side of the critter with, "Only macaroni & beans!" so the other saddle bums would be warned off!

One of the first surveys sponsored by legislators on Capitol Hill was led by Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden. These members of the Hayden Expedition work on a rocky slope, in what is probably Wyoming, sometime between 1870-1880.

Terry Juhlin They aren't surveying in this photo, the man seated is making a sketch of the area. These men were not surveyors by today's standards, they were making drawings along with making written notes on the area...
