Buckhorn circa 1930's

This photo or similar ones appeared in a dozen or more albums created by then county librarian, Francis Schacht, in the mid-1930s. She through the library made a public appeal for photos, and they poured in. Each original was photographed and the negative used to print the needed prints for each album. The Amador archives has one complete album, and another partly cannibalized. This one shows Buckhorn lodge and probably its owners in the 1930s, sometime before the albums appeared. Most likely some sort of tavern rose at that location years before. The trail become road was improved early, as the junction of Tiger Creek and the Mokelumne River was prime ground for ditchmen to divert water into their systems for mining and domestic use downstream.
