A 2½"x 3½" photograph showing five riders on horseback carrying various flags and banners along a paved street, with houses, parked cars and a forested hillside in the background. A bicycle rider (at far right) has joined the parade. See also the next photograph (x.0005) of the same scene, taken moments later. The street is the 2700 block of Sumner Avenue in Hoquiam. The automobiles parked along the curb include a late-1940's GMC flatbed truck and a circa 1950 - '52 Chevrolet or Buick. Photographs x.0004 & x.0005 were received wrapped in a handwritten note (not preserved) that read: "This is the Sheriff's Posse parading to Olympic Stadium in early 1950's. Taken in front of 2710 Sumner Ave." |
