Scope and Content

Postcard with a black-and-white photo of Cherokee Hall and the totem poles at Shagbark Camp, Camp Lake, Wisconsin (now Salem Lakes, WI). The log building is a long one-story structure with a two-story tower in the center. The totem poles flank either side of the entrance. A caption, printed in white along the lower edge, reads: Cherokee Hall Salvation Army / Will Rogers Shagbark, Center Lake, Wis. 214. The back of the postcard has AZO printed in the stamp box with dark squares in the corners. This dates production between 1924-1949. Shagbark Camp was acquired by The Salvation Army in 1934.
