To access the collection click the Eastman Originals Collection link on the left side of the page. On the next page enter "McCloud" in the "Search These Items" box and click the "Go" button. This will bring up the 74 images on four pages that contain the keyword "McCloud". Some are of a community play; others are taken on the McCloud River arm of Shasta Lake. However, most are of either the town of McCloud, the sawmill, or the outlying log camps on Pondosa and White Horse.
