Loggers in a logging camp bunkhouse, ca 1903 (MOHAI 5929)

The men who worked in logging camps lived together in crude bunkhouses. Conditions in the camps were harsh, uncomfortable, and dirty.
This photo was taken at a logging camp somewhere in Oregon or Washington. Many of the men are seated at the edge of their straw-filled bunks. Clothes and other belongings hang from the rafters or sit on the floor. Due to the long exposure time of the film, one of the men standing by the stove seems to have two pairs of hands.
