EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Altitude Part of Deadwood as seen from big flume, showing steps, stairways, and roads from store to residence, between 1887 and 1892,' is a captivating image of Deadwood, South Dakota, during the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer John C.H. Grabill, this aerial view showcases the unique layout of this frontier town nestled among the hills. The image reveals a section of the small city, where both residential and commercial buildings are interspersed. The buildings, with their distinctive rooftops, are arranged in a haphazard yet organized fashion, reflecting the meeting of European and American architectural influences on the frontier. The steep terrain is evident in the image, with stairways and steps carved into the hillside to connect the various levels of the community. The photograph also highlights the industrial nature of Deadwood during the gold rush era. The presence of the flume, a large water channel used for mining, is evident in the foreground, adding to the image's historical significance. The trees and mountains in the background add depth and a sense of geographical context to the scene. This photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of the American West and the resilience of the settlers who built communities in challenging environments. The image invites us to imagine the daily life of the people who lived here, as they went about their business and built a community amidst the rugged terrain and the promise of gold.
