Greased pig contest at Camp One of Morgan Lumber and Cedar Company
Abstract/Description: | Morgan Lumber & Cedar Company Camp 1, Near Foster City, Dickinson County, Michigan, ca. 1910-1920: A greased pig contest enlivened the lives of these lumberjacks at the Morgan Lumber & Cedar Company’s Camp One somewhere in Breen Township near Foster City between 1910 and 1920. The lumberjack at the far right who was attempting to capture the pig may have been named Dufresne. The four men in the background were standing on the broad backs of some of the camp’s horses to get a better view of the fun. Note the log and tar paper bunkhouses, typical of accommodations in most lumber camps. [Beatrice Blomquist] |
