Description

Photograph of a woman standing by a plaque on a wall in Big Pines Camp, [s.d.]. The woman is standing while stretching one of her arms on the plaque. She is wearing plus fours with a shirt and a tie under a blazer. The plaque is engraved on a wall made of stones, reads: "IN THE PINES. There is music in the forest of the pines as its murmur ever swells and declines: And its trees, though old and hoary, sing a sweet Aeolian story to the soul that for their glory e'er repines. There is beauty in the profile of the pines, in the shaft that never wavers nor reclines; and their tops seem ever yearning for the sun above them burning--stalwart, straight and never turning are their lines. There is vigor in the odor of the pines, there's a wealth of hearty health in their mines; and to him who hath the leisure to pursue their hidden treasure there is peace and there is pleasure in the pines. William M. Bristol. October, A.D. 19[?]5".
