| Commentary: | Will Eshbach was a farmer who lived near the Schoonover’s summer home in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. According to his diary, the morning after Schoonover bought his place, he headed for the Eshbach’s farm for gardening advice. Will’s son, Russ, (later a prominent Pennsylvania politician) became one of Schoonover’s favorite models. | |
