Scope and content
Tacoma's Labor Day parade on September 3, 1934 was also a celebration of the dedication of Fort Nisqually's restored buildings in Point Defiance Park. Charles A. Cook (far right), holding an old musket, and Clarence Shaw (middle) led a team of oxen in the parade. Charles Cook had come to Pierce County in the late 1870s when Washington was still a territory. Standing to the far left is Mr. Cook's son Arthur Cook, who was secretary of the USAdians Tacoma No. 5 Chapter and the Young Mens Business Club. (T. Times 9/4/1934, pg. 1)
