Description
This black and white photograph features five men moving up the river in a boat with an American flag attached to the front. These men are the American Museum group. They wear fedora-style hats and long-sleeved shirts. They are moving up the river towards Sternberg's scow or raft. Part of the scow has a tarp draped over it to form a tent. This section contains food and other supplies. Three men watch from the scow, prepared to greet the group. These three men wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. A small, empty boat has been pulled up to the shore near the scow. Another small, empty boat is tied to the scow. The scow is attached to trees on the shore by four ropes. Handwriting is below the photograph. This image is in Charles H. Sternberg's book "Hunting Dinosaurs on Red Deer River, Alberta, Canada, Figure 15."
