The authors painstaking analysis of every parametric picture known of White Oaks all have one thing odd in common, no matter the year taken, There is not a single wagon, horse, carriage, buckboard or any other animal powered form of transport in any of these photos. Sure there are ore trains. Store inventory delivery and carriages in photos of specific stores or homes but not in any vista view picture, There are no corrals , parked wagons shown in any of these pictures. If the kind reader did not know what year or places shown, he would think it was a deserted town somewhere in the desert. The authors considered movement and period photographic technology of the time, time if day or day of week as possible answers but none stood the test of investigation.
We ask any kind reader that has a plausible explanation other than the ones we already considered to let us know your ideas Remember the photos cover a more than 20 year spread in time.
