    Spanning South Washington (where it starts at Mt. Shasta) and Northern California, the McCloud River is one of the most scenic and historic areas of the West. Its virgin stands of ponderosa and sugar pine led to the creation of the McCloud River Lumber Co. which at its height was operated by Minnesota Lumber Tycoon John Carpenter (thus MN incorporation). It later became part of the Shevlin Lumber Empire (we also have their stocks! - please email if interested). The biggest problem the co. faced at its inception was that no nearby rail lines existed to the logs had to hauled by mule train on huge wagons. Such a mule train is depicted on back!
    This stock is a genuine living page of California history. It features a panoramic view of Mt. Shasta dwarfing tiny rail lines near its base. The 2 corner vignettes are real photos showing the aforementioned mule trains and wagons. The green border is highly ornate and the back is blazing orange with additional vignettes!! What an amazing paper find overflowing with Western history! Could be worth many 0's in the future!! Buy Now for just .49.
