Description
Photograph of a man cooking over a campfire near the Lolo National Forest, Montana, January 7, 1931. To the right of the center, a man can be seen bending down holding a can with a wooden stick over a fire. The fire site is contained by a few rocks piled up next to each other. Smoke is visible which extends from the campfire and stretches upwards, to the side, over to the left. On the left foreground, what appears to be the handle of a shovel is visible next to a long pole, a cup, and a pouch. The man and the objects are standing on a circular dirt ground. This circular area is surrounded by grassy lawn which extends into the background. On the left background, a river is seen along thick vegetation. The backdrop is filled with trees.
