This group of photographs were taken on the lawn of the Howell Carnegie Library, June 14, 1915, and are of Camp Fire Girls, as shown and discussed in the 2013 David Finney book, "Images of America Howell".
The girls were participating in Flag Day activities and had their pictures taken with parasols having American flag designs and in Native American dresses, headbands, and pigtails.
This is a photograph developed from a glass negative, labeled, "Campbell Home". The exact location is unknown but is believed to be in Livingston County, Michigan.
This photograph was one of several in the Cooper collection that was listed in David Finney's book, "Images of America: Howell", p. 96, and was captioned, "The cool waters of Lake Chemung provided people a brief respite from the steamy dog days of summer."
