Band in Calaveras County
I believe this photo was taken in Calaveras County, California, in the early part of the twentieth century. I know nothing else about it. View full size.
Jumping Frog Jubilee?
Angels Camp, also known as City of Angels and formerly Angel's Camp, Angels, Angels City, Carson's Creek, and Clearlake, is the only incorporated city in Calaveras County. The population was 3,004 at the 2000 census. It lies at an elevation of 1378 feet.
Mark Twain based his short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" on a story he claimed he heard at the Angels Hotel. The event is commemorated with a Jumping Frog Jubilee each May at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds, just east of the city. Because of this, Angels Camp is sometimes referred to as "Frogtown."
