Scope and content
A quintet of musicians from the Camp Lewis Orchestra are captured on film just "clowning around" at an unidentified social event on March 21, 1923 for the 6th Engineers. They play on a saxophone, banjo, piano, fiddle and drums, while a variety of instruments lie about waiting to be used. The land on which Camp Lewis sat was given as a gift to the federal government in 1916 by the people of Pierce County. The camp built there was redesignated as a Fort in 1927. G40.1-040
