Siskyou Mountains, CA
1920--
My mother wrote on this photo: "Your great great Uncle Bill Halloran in the Siskyou Mountains, Oct 1920, on way from Walhalla to Calif. He died of heart disease when he was 22."
My mother's entire family came out to California, one by one, looking for work. In the 40s, the shipyards at Hunter's Point in San Francisco hired a lot of Irish American laborers, and that was the big push out from Minnesota for the last of them.
