Hartley, also in the picture, left for Camp Taylor, Louisiana, Kentucky, August 25, 1917, and from there assigned as Second Lieutenant in Battery F, 151st Field Artillary “Rainbow Division” at Camp Mills, Long Island.

Camp and surrounds (summer, 1908)

Around the tent is a growth of young cedar. A man from Germany took this claim up 20 years ago and slashed it and burned it, trying to make a farm, finally giving it up. If the timber were today untouched, it would be worth $50,000 quick. This shows what fools there are in the world. You see, when he went there, there was not a market within many miles and only a foot trail to get in and out, and he must pack everything on his back. What kind of head would did he have? We found it hard enough to get in there this summer. – Roland Hartley

The start from camp. Edward W. Hartley—compassman, David M. Hartley—chain and ax man, and Roland H. Hartley—estimator and photographer.
