A bridge and road leading from the Little River Lumber Mills in Mendocino County are the subject of this albumen stereograph, published in 1866. Mills along the Mendocino coast cut timber for markets in San Francisco and other growing California towns, so a route like this one would have carried the lumber that fed the state's building boom. The Library holds only one half of the original pair, issued as number 1194 in the Gems of California Scenery series, and the details on the caption card have not been independently verified.
