Norman Clyde Lost & Found
In December 2014 I was contacted by a gentleman from Southern California
who offered this collection of negatives and photographs for sale.
They were immediately purchased and are presented here.
All the negatives are 6x9cm sheet film from film packs.
In all likelihood, they have not been seen for at least 60 years.
None of this would have happened but for the determined efforts of Dennis Kruska!
All now reside with the Eastern California Museum's
Norman Clyde Collection.
Thanks to SummitPost contributors for identifying many of these photos.
Their comments in green!

(The peak immediately right of Russell is "Mt Morgenson" (Peak 13927). It rises in the background of the north ridge of Mt. Hale. Note how the snowfields end abruptly where they are blocked by the smooth slopes of the latter. Mount Hale is what rises in front of Mount Whitney and Mount Young is on the far right.)

(Above and below: Starlight Peak, with the feature known as the Milk Bottle. Back in the day I think it
was considered part of North Pal (which it probably is) and not a separate peak.)
