Splitting Wood | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
One of two images under the headline: "Trials of Pioneers Bring Families Closer Together." Original caption reads, in part: "Families are knit more closely together by the trials of pioneer life in Palmer, Alaska. There is no place to go, so they work and play together. Shown splitting wood in order to build a fire are (left to right) Jimmy Pippel, Wilbur Seiber and his brother Robert." Original photograph included a boy on the far left, who may be Jimmy Pippel. Note with negative reads: "Jimmy Pippel, Wilbur Seiber and Robert Seiber (brothers) and Van Cook (left to right) splitting wood for homes."
