Dedicated to my grandmother Helen Blackwell Mulford Washburn Harden. She would have been I think seven or eight in 1914 when these pictures were taken during Camp Anawan’s second summer. Her father founded a camp for boys in northern Pennsylvania but at least where they were there were no camps for girls and my grandmother wanted to go to camp very much. She would have loved Camp Anawan.
