Description
Photograph of a campsite in Onion Valley, ca.1920. To the left of the center, a man can be seen bending down and holding a frying pan over what seems to be a fire. To his right, a tent supported by wooden poles and ropes is visible along with suitcases. In the foreground, canned food, cooking utensils, and horse saddles can be seen in a row. The site sits on a grassy lawn and thick bushes can be seen behind it. Mountains are visible in the background.
