OK, this is in Michigan, not Florida, but it's some cool family pix from a 1926 Camping trip......how I came to have
Camping Roots!
My Mother, Barbara Foley Martin, wrote her memoirs and described this camping trip she remembered from the age of
5. Going through the family photo archives, I found the pictures of it! Here's what she wrote about the trip:
"ABOUT CARS. There never was a time that we didn't have a car. My first recollection was of a 1926
Buick touring car (see photo). My dad had a special box made to fit the length and breadth of the running board
(it's in the photo!). It was in this box that he stored his fishing tackle, our tent, cookstove, folding table
and stools, folding canvas chairs, and the cots when we made our two camping trips in 1926 and 1927 to Charlevoix, Michigan.
We camped outside of town, in the immediate vicininty of an Indian camp (I think that these were indeed Charlevoix Indians.)
We have pictures of them as they visited our camp, and one especially of me holding an Indian papoose on my lap (wetting)."
(Note by Janie) I'm not sure there is such a thing as Charlevoix Indians....need to investigate this.
My parents and their ancestors were natives of Clark County, Ohio. To see my Ohio Heritage Photo Album, click the
