Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Five members of the West, Schmitz and Scullin camping party gather around the stove to cook up food at their campsite near Convict Lake. At left, a man stands partially out of frame and looks to camera with a towel or rag slung over his shoulder. To his right, a man smokes a cigar as he is crouched down near the stove that sits on the ground to his right. He tends to a pan on the stove top. Another man (maybe Jim Scullin) sits to the right of the stove. He looks to camera as he crouches down and holds a pan to the stove. The stove's stovepipe rises between them. Conrad Scullin stands behind the stove and to the right of the stovepipe. Standing further back and to the right of Conrad, another man poses with a pan in one hand, one hand to his hip and with a cigar in his mouth. On the far right, a tent (partial view) stands. Fishing gear lies on the ground near the tent. Text from negative sleeve: 368. Convict Lake, 1918. Cannot make out who these persons are in these 3 small negatives. But in the party were Al Schmitz, Harry Schmitz, Edward Steinberg, Jim Scullin, Scullin's boy and a man named Kirk, a friend of Scullin. H.H.West. 3 negatives.
