Alva B. Richmond: So. California Views: A Photographic Portfolio, 1916 Mountains and Trails: Sturdevant Trail, 1916
"Is it a wonder that in a land with such a topography and seasons, with such fine weather, cool nights and absolute safety from storms, that the greatest sought pleasure should be the great outdoors?
"One can thread the mountain canyons, follow the trails to the highest peaks and gaze upon the world at his feet. He can listen to the wind as it sighs through the huge pines; he can search the deepest shades of the highest mountains, or lounge beside the clear mountain stream that rushes down the winding canyon from above.
"What is more pleasant or attractive than to lie beneath the spreading live oak or the shimmering needles of the silver fir and through the interlaced branches above, watch the twinkle of the starry heavens and the shifting mellow light of the moon on the distant mountain peaks?" -A.B. Richmond
