Description

Photo of 15 people (at least four are women) standing on the frozen aqueduct. Some of them are wearing ice skates. There is a black dog sitting between the legs of the third man from the left. The accession paperwork says this was taken in 1916 when the aqueduct froze over, but the caption from the book "Mountains to Desert" identifies this a December 1913 skating party on the newly completed Los Angeles Aqueduct (near Manzanar). Another photo in the museum gives the date as Christmas 1911.
