Tents at Raise 'ell Camp, Cooks Mill, Pennsylvania

Tents at Raise 'ell Camp, Cooks Mill, Pennsylvania
Handwritten message on the back of this real photo postcard: "To yous all. This is a view of our tents. Rhoads and two of the clerks came down one night. Hunter."

The seven Raise 'ell campers are sitting in front of their tents. What appears to be a quilt or coverlet is visible in the first open tent, and the man seated in front of that tent is still holding the shotgun he posed with in the first photo.

Charles R. Rhoads was a pharmacist in the nearby town of Hyndman, Pa., in the 1900s and 1910s. Could he have been the Rhoads who--along with two of the clerks in his pharmacy--visited the camp?

And how ironic is it--considering the guns that are visible in the photos and the hunting that presumably took place during the camping trip--that the writer's name is "Hunter"!
