"Camp Lawless" photograph album

 Item
Identifier: Mss 1034-082

The collection consists of a photograph album containing snapshots from a vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. "Camp Lawless" is written on the album, which was likely created by Paul Hamilton Rogers or his first wife, Ruth Richardson Rogers.

The album includes a handwritten list of camp laws and lyrical verses describing those who stayed at the cabin: Clifton Moïse, Marguerite Cromer, Paul Hamilton Rogers, Ruth Richardson, "Chappie," "Smythe" (who is not pictured in the album), Marion, "Muff," "Loulie," and Ben.

The album's black-and-white photographs are mostly of the group playing cards, singing, hiking, washing, and doing chores. Also included are photographs of the Biltmore Estate and the home of former North Carolina governor Zebulon Baird Vance.
