SECTIOH II First Ascent of the Mountain of the 
Holy Cross, 1873, followed by a number 
of letters and clippings revealing the 
awakening interest in the mountain by 
the people of Denver §y6 years later. 
It appears that the photograph of the 
Mountain of the Holy Cross made by Mr. 
Jackson in 1873 is the best representa¬ 
tion of the mountain ever taken. The 
melting of the snows had reached the 
particular point when the cross is re¬ 
vealed in great perfection, and the 
figure of the woman with upraised hands 
has never been so clearly defined so 
far as shorn by photographs.
