This photograph shows Lester Ken Knight’s Camera Club members taking a picture of Theodore Roosevelt’s name painted on a log in the Roosevelt Recreation Demonstration Area. Historians believe Roosevelt did not write the name since the spelling is wrong. The photograph is part of a three-binder set of pictures taken by Chandler D. Fairbank, Civilian Conservation Corps North Unit foreman at the Roosevelt Recreation Demonstration Area.
