Firewood looks to have been scarce. Their tinware appears new. I want to know about the caps. I have seen those caps in a lot of old midwestern photos, especially Minnesota. The caps originate from an ethnic group? Old photos from WV usually show men wearing hats or seven panel caps.

Good friends, burt powder, game. a fire and coffee. I would say life was good back then. Heck that makes my life good now.

Not really ethnic, but those caps were common on my uncles and cousins (Danish) farms in Minnesota when my mother visited her family. Kind of like railroaders caps, everyone wore similar headgear.

Me and my "trophies" in about 1934 -



In the 1930s there was a serious effort to wipe out coyotes completely - never happened but did reduce the population a few years and, during that time, we were overpopulated with jack rabbits and prairie digs - giving me and my 22 single shot I got for my 6th birthday in 1932 lots of "game" to shoot.

We didn't consider them edible but my dog sure did -

The guy at the far right is wearing a cap identical to one I have at home, and which can be purchased locally any time of the year...

A couple of the others are very european in design or origin, but they keep the wearer warm and dry...

Hope those boys didn't feel undergunned against those wascally wabbits.
