View of the San Gabriel fire from Mount Wilson at five o'clock in the morning, 1924

Photograph of a view of the San Gabriel fire from Mount Wilson at five o'clock in the morning, 1924. Smoke sits low at the center of a group of smooth mountains at center. Puffs of smoke fill the air with a thick blanket of clouds overhead built from the lines of fires in the background. The fires climb over to the top of the mountains. Their light shines into the smoke above. Caption reads "San Gabriel fire 1924, taken at 5 A.M. from Mount Wilson -- showing smoke drift and 'nigger heads' rising indicating fire burnt all night".
