Description

This black scrapbook page contains three black and white photographs from George Sternberg's photo album. The photo on the left features a bull snake slithering up a steep incline toward a grassier area. The top right photograph is a close image of Sternberg's tents and equipment on a scow tethered to a riverbank. In the bottom right photo, the scow has pushed off toward the river, and the men onboard are hard at work with the paddles to maneuver the craft. Underneath each of these images is an inscription written by George Sternberg.
