Disbound album of amateur snapshot photographs documenting the activities of the Sisson family beginning with views of Illinois, Ohio, and New Hampshire (Mt. Washington) in 1898-1899 and continuing on to their life in Southern California. Includes views of a vacation camping trip by Edward A. Sisson, his father, George H. Sisson, and other men to Lower California (Baja, Mexico) in 1901 around Ensenada, Sausalito, El Rosario and Santa Catarina. The second half of the album documents the life of the Sisson family in the Garvanza section of northeast Los Angeles (near Pasadena and South Pasadena) beginning in 1902. Many of the Los Angeles photographs focus on Dorothy Sisson and Margaret Sisson as young children, with some views in Pasadena, the Arroyo Seco, the Sisson's house (the "Garvanza Villa"), and a trip to San Francisco. All photographs are captioned and many are dated. Contains photographs by Stella Hart, Mrs. Joseph L. Ball, Mrs. Kyellberg and Mr. Wheeler.
