Description

This black and white photograph features two horses facing away from a river, having backed a white motorboat on a wooden wagon into the water. One man wearing a hat is holding the horse's reins and facing the camera. Two other men are closer to the foreground, facing the river. They are surrounded by sacks, buckets, boards, and other equipment for the motorboat's launch. The equipment and sacks are resting in the dirt by a wooden rail fence and where the shore slopes down into the river. Another man can be seen to the far right, kneeling in the grass by a small tree. Several wooden boards are on the ground by the tree. Across the river, a barn stands between a tree line and an open field. Handwriting is below the photograph. "George F. Sternberg, now working on behalf of the Geological Survey of Canada, operated a scow-based camp on the Red Deer River between Red Deer and the Munson ferry near Drumheller. Sternberg was assisted by Jacey Glen Mayberry (died ca. 1950; Mayberry 1985) from Red Deer, J.A. Smith, George Housten, and Peter A. Bungart (1876–1948). "
