An absorbing photograph album containing over 180 original images that documents a family's travels in the West over a four year period after World War I. The group travelled to a disparate set of Western destinations during this time, making their way across the county by train, automobile, and riverboat. In 1919, they travelled through the Northern Rockies, making an obligatory stop in Denver, but also halting at places such as Vananda, Montana (now a ghost town), and Lake Pend Oreille, in the Northern Idaho Panhandle. During 1920, the group was in Dalhart, Texas, and returned to Idaho to visit Lake Coeur D'Alene and to travel along the St. Joe River. Images from 1921 and 1922 center on travel around the Spokane area, where the group appears to have been from, including a series of images taken at Liberty Lake. A varied and interesting album of post-World War I western travels.
