Bibliographic information
| Note | Formerly a student of art, Andrew Putnam Hill became a professional photographer in 1889, opening a studio in San Jose, California with his partner, Sydney J. Yard. While his studio produced many individual and group portraits, he also became well known for his views of the Santa Clara Valley region and the Santa Cruz mountains. He became an ardent conservationist and, working with other members of his newly founded Sempervirens Club, lobbied throughout the state against commercial cutting of redwoods and for the formation of a state park in the Felton Big Tree area. |
