Description

This black and white photograph features George F. Sternberg and his assistant, Peter Bungart, posing on a motorboat and a rowboat with fishing poles and a string of several fish they caught. Both men wear hats, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and boots. Bungart, right, wears a bowtie and suspenders. A tent on a scow or barge, which also has two flagpoles and flags, is visible behind the two boats. In the background, a large outcropping rises on the opposite side of the river. 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). "
