What sets this negative apart is its title, "Grub Pile in camp at Columbus," which points to a heap of food gathered for a group of people living together in temporary quarters. The George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress holds the glass negative, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency active in the early twentieth century. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded on its negatives and cards, which has not been independently verified, so the exact Columbus location and the date of the scene remain uncertain. Visitors interested in camp life of the period may find it a useful look at how large groups were fed outdoors.
