A black bear stands on a wooden platform, chained and seemingly part of an exhibition or camp, with tall trees and a rustic cabin in the background. A man in a suit and hat observes the bear closely, while another individual and an automobile can be seen further in the background.In the early 20th century, government camps around scenic areas like Mt. Hood often featured various attractions to draw tourists. Black bears, common in the Pacific Northwest, were sometimes displayed to showcase the local wildlife. Such exhibitions were popular forms of entertainment and provided educational opportunities about regional fauna.Present in this photo: none.
