I, the Traeger Baby, Do Solemnly Swear …
(Unidentified Glass-Plate Image)

Another from the glass-plate negative collection, this little girl — I assume it's a girl because she's got a doll — is identified only as the "Traeger Baby." She and her doll are both raising their hands as if taking an oath; I wonder if that's coincidental?

With no date on the photo and so many Traegers around in the early part of the 20th century, I can't say for sure what her name was.

If that's snow on the ground behind her, she's a pretty tough baby.
