REMARK: Written on reverse in pencil: "Crew that built bridge over Kankakee R. at Dunn's Bridge, Indiana stayed here." Burrows Camp was situated in Porter County, directly north of Dunn's Bridge. It was here that Mr. and Mrs. Burrow operated a pleasure resort consisting of a theatre, which was later converted into a dance hall, and a horse-drawn merry-go-round. Just north of Burrows Camp was a saloon, while directly east of of Burrows Camp was a combination store and residence. The dance hall and store/residence structures were later destroyed by separate fires.

REMARK: In 1902, the Kankakee Reclamation Company was organized to deepen, widen, and straighten the Kankakee River. After several court battles, the company was finally granted permission to dredge the river in 1911, and commenced dredging in 1914. The straightening of the river shortened a stretch of 45 miles flowing through the counties of LaPorte and Starke to 17 miles. At the time of straightening, the river was renamed "Marble-Powers Ditch," a name that was very rarely used after dredging and used even more seldom today. The floating dredges themselves consisted of living quarters for about eight men and a kitchen.

REMARK: The following text was written on the reverse by George C. Green to D. W. Root of Hebron, Indiana: "I am hoping that we may row around the upper bend, again some day and lure a beauty from the moss. But if the fates that hold the keys make decree otherwise, then let us turn from the river to the hills. The sunlight lingers there, and ---?--- notes travel o'er the hill top have no fear."
