Description:
Seymour Abel stopping by Brad Snow's fish camp. River tradition was that anyone going downriver might stop by the post-office first to pick up mail and drop it off to people along the river. If a package contained good things to eat, a "road tax" was sometimes extracted by the carrier. All part of "a spirit of community" among river residents.
Listen to Brad Snow talk about the photo.
