Title
An Automobile Drive in the Woods , ca. 1912
Photographer
Matsura , Frank , 1873-1913 .
Description
In 1908 , the first automobile rumbled through Okanogan , and created quite a stir of speculation . Judge William C . Brown reportedly said that he had "heard tell of them darned new-fangled contraptions , but was a little skeptical and thought he'd look the law up on it. " By 1910 , Okanoganites who could afford one embraced the automobile , and had the town's support in pushing for improved county and state roads . In this photograph , Matsura gets a head-on shot of an automobile traveling a dirt road in a heavily wooded area , perhaps up by Conconully .
