John W.G. Dunn captured mundane aspects of camp life in photographs during his many camping expeditions into the Maine north woods in the 19th century. These expeditions lasted months so the camp members had to do their own laundry. This is Charles Bullen Dunn on a Sunday.

John Hall and Herbert Washington in a canoe on Ragged Lake, Maine. A trophy Maine whitetail buck is transported by canoe back to camp following a successful hunt at Ragged Lake, Maine in the late summer of 1887. The remote, rugged terrain, trophy brook trout, and abundant game had made Ragged Lake a favorite destination of John Dunn and his hunting companions from the early 1880s to the early 1900s. A trip to this remote lake would require a day or more of travel by horse and canoe from Moosehead Lake.
