1900s c. Hunters Camp
Dublin Core
Title
1900s c. Hunters Camp
Description
Two men, each with two hunting dogs, stand posed with their dogs and their guns in front of a tent. On one side of the tent at least 17 animal skins are hanging on a line including racoons, skunks, bobcats, and fox among others. A coniferous forest is located in the background. Although this image dates nearly 40 years after Letitia moved from the Soap Creek Valley, it paints a portrait of the life of Soap Creek Valley settlers in a time period similar to, adjacent to Letitia's. The surrounding land and lifestyle mirror what David and Letitia experienced during their time in the valley, giving us an idea of what life would have been like for them when photographs were too new to have captured Benton County, Oregon.
