Scope and content
Portrait, taken from the side, showing daredevil Al Fausett in bed, holding a cup and saucer, after an attempt to shoot Willamette Falls in a specially designed canoe on March 31, 1928. A cropped version of this photograph was one of four published on the front page of the Oregon Journal on April 1, 1928, under the headline “Dare-Devil Falls Jumper and His Narrow Squeak at Oregon City.” This photograph had the following caption: “Close-up of Fausett in bed after being pulled from water at end of locks near west shore.” According to an accompanying story, headlined “Leaps Falls; Death Close,” Fausett’s canoe went over the falls sideways and resurfaced upside down. Fausett was rescued and was uninjured. See related image Nos. 371N0823, 371N5708, and 377N0376. Image note: Photograph quality is poor due to extensive deterioration of the negative.
