Description
A black and white photograph that is part of a collection of pictures and postcards taken in the 1920s and 30s at Camp Roosevelt, a Boy Scout camp located outside Eddington, Maine. An annotation on the back of this picture reads, "On embankments, interior of redoubt #5, Constitution Island, May." The picture portrays a troop of boy scouts, seated and standing on an embankment with trees in the background. Presumably, this Maine troop went on a field trip to Constitution Island on the Hudson River and visited the 18th century redoubts (#5, 6, and 7).
