Description
Photograph of wagons and men packed for Dry Camp, ca.1910. At center is a wagon viewed from the side with four mules hitched to the front. One man is visible sitting at the driver's seat, while eight men, all wearing pants and hats, are visible standing posed in front of the wagon. Barrels are visible in the back of the wagon, while a second wagon is visible behind the first and to the right. Two men are visible in the second wagon, which is also filled with barrels and other miscellaneous items. Sand and desert bushes are visible in the foreground, while mountains are visible in the background. Seems to be associated with others that are identified with the King's River in Fresno County, and possibly involved in a railroad right of way war.
