"Captain A. J. Russell: Capturing the Beauty of America's Frontier" Step back in time to Mirror Lake, late 19th century, through the lens of Andrew Joseph Russell. This remarkable photographer transports us to a serene oasis where nature's reflection dances upon the calm waters. Church Buttes near Fort Bridger, Wyoming Territory, 1868/69 - witness the rugged grandeur of these towering rock formations that stand as sentinels against an endless sky. Marvel at their ancient beauty and imagine the stories they hold. In Castle Rock, Green River Valley, 1868/69, Russell captures a moment frozen in time. The sheer magnitude of this monolith is awe-inspiring; it stands as a testament to nature's power and resilience. Traveling eastward to Fredericksburg, Virginia in May 3rd - we find ourselves amidst scenes of battle. Caissons destroyed by Federal shells serve as haunting reminders of the sacrifices made during one of America's darkest chapters. Venturing west again to Brigham Youngs Woolen Mills in 1868/69 brings us face-to-face with the majestic Wasatch Range. Its snow-capped peaks reach for the heavens while providing sustenance and shelter for those who call this land home. Burning Rock Cut in Green River Valley reveals a different side of nature's fury captured by Russell's lens. Witness firsthand how fire can shape and transform even solid stone into molten artistry. Journeying further along Bitter Creek Valley near Green River takes us deep into untamed wilderness where jagged cliffs meet rolling plains. Here lies untouched beauty waiting to be discovered by intrepid explorers like Captain A. J. Russell himself. Wilhelmina’s Pass grants us a distant view of serrated rocks or Devil’s Slide within Weber Canon, Utah (1868/69). These natural wonders defy logic with their intricate patterns etched into Earth's canvas – a testament to the artistic genius of nature. Tunnel No.
