A color lithograph of the West Branch camp meeting in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, puts the carriages and coaches at the center of the scene, a reminder that many attendees arrived by horse-drawn vehicle. Camp meetings of this era were multi-day outdoor revivals, drawing Methodists and other evangelical congregations who pitched tents or built small wooden cottages around a central preaching stand. Dated to about 1872 and registered for copyright by W.H. Rease, the view records a rural religious tradition that was at its height in the decades after the Civil War.
