Description
Congressman William Kent's Party on road to Muir Woods about 1910 for a barbecue given by Kent for members of Congress. Five men are standing around a wrecked automobile turned upside down and blocking the road, but there appear to be no injuries. Kent, looking puzzled, is at the right. Congressman Jo Cannon is among the men. The other three men are unidentified.
