Description
Photographic portrait of a man demonstrating how to put out a campfire near Lolo National Forest, Montana, ca.1930. In the center, a campfire site constructed from large rocks is visible. To its left, a man holding a small shovel can be seen bending down while using the tool to place dirt into the campfire. A small cilinder-shaped bag is visible in front of the man, in the left foreground. An ax and a can with a handle is observable next to the campfire in the right foreground. The man and the objects stand on a ground with no vegetation. A river and thick vegetation are seen in the backdrop.
