From Francis Ruud, Esther Ruud Stradling, Ila Ruud Rupley, and 
Lois Ruud Stinson, children of Eloise McKay Ruud and Carl Oliver Ruud.

Eloise McKay Ruud collected most of these photographs and wrote extensive
comments on many of them; it is she to whom "my", "I", and other
first-person usages refer; in Section C:, one tried to reproduce
the comments completely and faithfully, even if the comments appeared
to be erroneous [noted by bracketed editorial insertion]; grouping
of the comments and vertical spacing is lost, of course.

comments in brackets with identification [....... ers] are taken from
the book "American Fever" by Esther Ruud Stradling, ISBN: I-4184-3005-6(sc),
AuthorHouse, 2004.

an original photograph of the ole ruud homestead, aka the ranch,
taken in 1899 or 1900, was contributed by lois ruud stinson; the
image is particularly interesting, and it is included in several
forms in this database and the corresponding photogallery: a scan
of the original photo; the image edited to differently and
optimally display three central regions of the photo, to show family,
hired hand, and house; and each of these three regions displayed
separately.
