About the photographer:

"Merl LaVoy  (1885-1953) was a photographer and documentary cinematographer who traveled the four corners of the world, earning him the title of “The Modern Marco Polo”. [1] [2]

Biography [ edit ]

Merl LaVoy was born to Charles Henry LaVoy and Luella Easton on December 14, 1885 in the small town of Royalton, Wisconsin.[3]  LaVoy's father died tragically in a sawmill accident when Merl was 13 months old.[4]  His mother married Arthur E. Peck in 1893 and the family moved to Tower  in St Louis County, Minnesota. The marriage dissolved and by 1906, LaVoy's mother married William Henry Cole in Seattle. LaVoy rarely discussed his youth but in some accounts he claimed that his parent died while he was young and he lived with an uncle in a log cabin in a heavily forested area of Oregon.[5] [6 "
