2022.057.067 - Steamer James N. TriggDescription
Black and white photograph mounted on linen fabric of the Steamer James N. Trigg on the banks of the Tennessee River. The steamer is decked with American flag swags along the top deck and a crowd of men on the lower deck. A group of men and boys are on the banks of the river watching as the gangplank is being lowered. A smaller boat is to the right of the steamer and what appears to be a flooded house is in the background. The steamer is likely being used for the 15 September 1913 GAR Encampment, as it was a venue for a breakfast event during the reunion. The photograph is marked "Stokes" and numbered 5. It is mounted on a linen paper.Creator
