John W.G. Dunn's tent, Ragged Lake, 1901
Item 5875 info
Maine Historical Society
By 1896, at the age of 27, John Dunn had settled in Minnesota along with the rest of his family and no longer traveled to Moosehead Lake.
However, Dunn cherished his time spent in Maine, and from his home in Minnesota, he sold albums of photographs taken during the numerous bivouacs to the Moosehead region.
And whether he was sleeping in a tent, a camp, under the stars, or in the comfort of his home, Dunn kept a copy of Thoreau's The Maine Woods at his bedside.
