Notes	At front of title: "No. 255."; Formerly F17378.; Label on back of stereo card has photographer's byline and reads: "Rocky Mountain Stereoscopic Views. Eagle River Series. The Eagle River is a tributary of the Grand. Its source is the Tennessee Pass, which has an elevation of 10,418 feet. Its course is through pine groves and broad grassy valleys, with the high peaks of the Ten Mile and Blue Mountains to the east and the Mount of the Holy Cross and the Sawatch range on the west. Near at hand rise high cliffs of quartzite, sandstone, limestone and porphry, belonging to the Silurian group, and containing a continuation of the famous carbonite deposits of Leadville and the Upper Arkansas. Fifteen miles below the pass, the river is reinforced by Turkey Creek and the Homestake, near the new town of Red Cliff, at an altitude of 8,550 feet. The river here enters a canyon from 500 to 700 feet in depth, often nearly perpendicular, plowed by itself through the silurian and granite rocks which form Battle mountain, the scene of a deadly conflict between the Utes and the allied hosts of the Arapahoes and Cheyennes in 1868, and over which the old Indian trail and new wagon road passes, following the line of the carbonate outcropping."; Title lettered on front of stereo card.; R7100131098
