Notes
Rubber stamp on verso of typed label reads: Sep 1, 1939 F. H. F.; Title and date hand-written on back of photoprint.; Typed label with photoprint reads: In cowboy regalia for the Trinidad Roundup is Eileen Finn of New York City, who has just lost track of General John W. Harris. Harris is camera shy. The other ladies in the picture seem to be discussing some serious problem. This confusion is typical of the convention headquarters (Columbian Hotel) where the West met the South with a war whoop and a cordial invitation to "have one on me".; R7100018240
