Description

This black and white photograph features a horse going to the river bank after being on the river in a scow. At the right of the photo, a man's arm is held out toward a dark-colored horse, which is heading out of the river and onto the bank. Behind the horse, a man is standing on the outer edge of the scow and holding onto a flagpole in front of the tent, also on the scow. He is wearing a long-sleeved button-up shirt, pants with suspenders, and a hat. The silhouette of another man, who is inside the tent, is visible next to the previous man. 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). "
