Southern Pines, in the Sandhills of central North Carolina, grew up in the late 1800s as a winter resort for visitors drawn by the pine air and the open country, and its horse culture later made it a noted center for riding and hunting. The title points to a "schooner day" there, though the record does not say what the term meant locally. A caption tracing of "covered wagons" hints that horse-drawn vehicles may be involved, but that note is unverified. The print comes from the Wittemann Collection in the Library of Congress, and its undated card leaves the exact occasion open.
