And He Rolls In




As the caption reads, "2 A. M. And He Rolls In Quite Early."

When I was in college, I had a history professor who liked to speak of CK,  common knowledge, thinks that everyone thought of as true, but were in fact not true.  A perfect example of CK is the widely held belief that the prohibition movement began with conservative Christians who wanted to impose their own sense of morality on everyone else.  Other than the fact that prohibition had broad support, if it had any single point of origin, it was in the early women's movement for a very simple reason, women who had drunk husbands had a tendency to get beaten and killed.  Women who had sober husbands didn't. 

Anyway, I found a bit of information about T.W. Ingersoll.  Truman Ward Ingersoll (1862-1922) was an American photographer and publisher of stereo cards.  I was unable to determine if he was the only photographer or if his company had  a staff of cameramen.  He was noted for his views of Yosemite.
