Cooking Alfresco: 1915

February 21, 1915. Peekskill, New York. "National Guard practice. Cooking alfresco." 5x7 glass negative, George Grantham Bain Collection. View full size.

Peekskill

Is where "The Facts of Life" was set.

The more you know!

Cooking in Peekskill

The cook was probably at Camp Smith,NY. This was a major National Guard training base for many years. To my knowledge it is still being used today. Peekskill, NY, was at the time of this picture, and later, a summer vacation area for NYC residents. Today it's just another suburb. A previous governor of NY State, George Pataki came from Peekskill.

Umm ... where do I turn myself in?

"Cookie" is killer handsome. (Strange to think that WWI was nearly a hundred years ago.)
