Photograph of Jesse Brown hunching over near the camp stove and tending to a pot. He stands left of center in front of the trunk of a large tree that stands at left. He is bent over and faces towards the camera with his face obscured from view. He reaches a hand towards the pot sitting on the stove to his right. Gear litters the ground in front of him and a hill rises in the distance at right.
Text from negative sleeve: 564. Convict Lake - Gull Lake, about 1920. The road from Deadman canyon to Gull Lake was so poor we could only get to the edge of the lake, and made camp there, right at edge of snow. It was bitterly cold, and snow all around. Wind blew hard. Here are couple pictures of Jesse Brown cooking. I was wearing my overcoat. 2 negatives.
