Description

This black and white photograph features another view of the Sternberg camp on the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada. Looking across the river, a motor boat with five people sits in the middle of the river. Flags fly on both ends of the boat. The scow, with its white tent, is tethered to the river bank. Two white tents are on top of an outcropping next to the river bank. Other outcroppings are seen in the background. 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). "
