Description
This page is from George Sternberg's personal photo album. Four black-and-white photographs depicting men preparing their wagon to cross a swollen river by a motorboat. In the four photographs, the men are wearing long-sleeved shirts and in some of the photos, they are standing in the swollen river. In two of the pictures, the men are shown with long poles that are 7' to 10' long. The scow in the photos is covered with a white tent like canvas with a stovepipe coming through the top. The river is lined with trees and in several of the pictures the trees are in the swollen river. Three white tents can be seen in the background of two of the photos.
