A group of older boys working at White's Bog in Browns Mills, New Jersey, appears in this September 28, 1910 photograph by Lewis Hine, who was documenting child labor for the National Child Labor Committee. The caption describes them as a "rough gang" and names E. F. Brown as a witness, which points to an effort to record who was working there and under what conditions. Cranberry harvests in the fall drew many young laborers to the bogs, and Hine's images of such work helped build public support for limits on children's employment.
