Logging Clean-Up Crew
Group of men and a boy posed holding logging tools and standing in front of tents on the banks of a river, probably just south of Black River Falls. A man wearing an apron and holding a coffee pot stands near an open-sided tent with a long table and benches set with dishes for meals. The group is possibly a clean-up crew for stray logs. A man on the far right sitting on the ground is wearing a top hat and smoking a pipe. In the far background on the right is a bridge and buildings. |
