A young cowboy with toy pistol. Photo by Doran of Tulare, circa 1895.
Early photo postcard, postmarked from Orosi in 1903. The message refers to Beulah Dye as possibly being the girl in the image. According to census records, Beulah Flora Dye (1898-1992) was a resident of the Cutler/Orosi area into the 1920s
An old postcard, postmarked: "Portersville Cal, Jul. 8, 1910". A view of Porterville's Main St., looking north. This is back when Main Street ended at the Morton Street School.
This photo also appears in Sarah Troop's book about Lindsay, CA. Her book dates the photograph to 1913. The Scouts at the back of this image are from Lindsay Troop 1. This was the first Boy Scout troop established in the Tulare County area.

The snapshots below are from an old photo album that identified the location and years as "Globe 1913" and "Globe 1915". Globe is an area along the western edge of Springville. Unfortunately, there are no names with these photos
I would guess that this is a foot bridge across the Tule River.
This is a view looking northwest, near the present day corner of highway 190 and Bridge Dr., in Springville.

Below are scans of a group of glass negatives from the Visalia area. Circa 1906.
(Many thanks to Joseph Vicenti, for these negatives)
View of a small dairy. The words etched at the bottom of the negative say: "Clear View Home. Cream Day. Visalia Cal".
Another view of the dairy, above. The young woman, standing at center, appears in many of these images.
They appear to be standing in a field of sorghum. The man here also appears in several of these images.
"We're Ready" is written at the lower corner of this negative. Looks like the dogs are taking the horse & buggy out.
I believe the word in the lower left corner is "Companions".
