The second one (0272_0105) shows the Clark County Court House. The handwritten inscription reads "Hireing hall (slave market) for dam, was just across the street. Men waiting for a chance to be hired, would gather on court house lawn, under the shade of trees - No 'Keep of the grass' here, as they were in my town. Gave me a feeling of doing something wrong when I walked on the grass." The third image (0272_0106) has the caption of "'Death Valley Scotty's' Castle." The fourth one (0272_0107) depicts the historic 20-mule team borax wagons, at Death Valley near Las Vegas.
