- Lydia's photographs of the Coronado Heights projects -
- Lydia's photographs of the Coronado Heights projects -
Emil and Lydia had married in 1916, so it was not surprising that she took photographs of the results of the work being accomplished by her husband and the other members of the Society. These photographs and their negatives, I found in their Sohlberg Deere Estate which are shown here and in two other sections.
- These additional photographs were given to me by the granddaughter of photographer Bror G. Gröndal's. -
(The first two of Deere with group on top of Coronado Heights. The third is of Seth Sohlberg with cows shown left on the valley floor.)
=================================================================================================
- Name changed by Hagstrom and witnessed by Deere -
- Lydia's photograph recreating the day of the name change to Coronado Heights in 1919 -
After much study and thought, I have thought that Emil or Lydia might have wanted to recreate a photograph of that day, May 8, 1920, when the name changed from the various names of the Smoky Hills to something entirely different, distinctive and historical which was to Coronado Heights in 1919. This photograph may have captured that same time of day on the slope that Deere and Hagstrom experienced, of "seeing the wheat fields of gold” which led to the name change.
