epigram from page 19.

Ashman taught meteorology at “the Southern Branch of the University of California (now UCLA) from 1919-1930,” according to a UCSD tumblr post showing cover of Ashman’s Sierra de San Pedro Martir, an album containing photographs taken between August 3 and September 9, 1903, of the San Pedro Martir mountain range in central Baja California. See this tumblr post by Special Collections & Archives at the UC San Diego Library, which links to a pdf of the entire — and fascinating — album.
