- Fishing at the Edge of the World c. 1910–1925
- Description
- Along the northeastern boundary of the Haushalter farm, the waters of the 18-Mile Creek served as both a natural border and a place of quiet instruction. In this candid moment from the early 20th century, an unidentified man and two young boys wade through the shallow cascades, their fishing rods poised against the rocky terrain. The scene captures the simple, rhythmic labor of rural childhood, yet it is framed by a looming symbol of progress: the massive steel railroad trestle cutting through the valley behind them.
