Very longtime friend and colleague Dennis Miller, who runs IndyWorkshops in Indianapolis, IN.  (http://indyworkshops.com/) sent me this photo of his grandmother, Mildred Congdon Boardman, taken on the occasion of Arizona's admission to statehood, July 4, 1912.

It's not North Country, but it is frontier.  Dennis's family become lumbermen in the wilds of Wisconsin back in the day, and thus are kindred spirits in many ways. I think this is a neat photo, and shows some of the stuff of which our forebearers were made.  Photo copyright by Dennis Miller. All rights reserved.  Reprinted here by kind permission.
