Abstract
This image emphasizes the importance of cookhouses in the logging camps of Humboldt County. This particular image has only three named people, including Mr. and Mrs. William Vance and their daughter Katie. The image notes that this is a smaller-than-usual crew of loggers, and that this particular cookhouse uses a circular saw to call the loggers in for a meal (no explanation included).
