'Sara and Erskine,' to whom this photograph is inscribed, are Sara Bard Field and Charles Erskine Scott Wood. From 1935 until his death in 1944, Wood, an American novelist, civil liberties advocate and attorney, and his second wife, Sara Bard Field, a poet and suffragist, lived in Los Gatos, California. Their home, which they named 'The Cats,' played host to notable figures such as John Steinbeck, Robinson Jeffers, Chief Joseph, Emma Goldman, Margaret Sanger, and Ansel Adams. Field and Wood both wrote poetry, and Albert M. Bender, friend and patron of Adams's projects, provided economic support for a book of their work in 1937.
