Howard Doster, Army Photographer

Doster Collection

1944

Image shows an early fall scene of a field of several rows of potatoes with grain field beside it. Some of the grain had been cut, bundled and shocked. Buildings are visible at the far end of the field with dense forest surrounding all. High mountains are in background with early snow on top and white clouds above. Doster was apparently traveling in the company of Erv Plitt, another Army photographer, who took a similar photo at the same time from the far side of the grain field at right. That image is in our Plitt Collection and shown on this site as Farm 2.
