| Description |
The collection takes its name from the Rives family who donated the collection materials. In 1905 the Rives and the Hill families came to Cedar Mountain from Aiken, SC for their annual summer stay. They generally spent the months of April to October in Cedar Mountain to escape the lowland heat. While at their summer homes in Cedar Mountain, the families joined in a camping trip to the Toxaway region near Cashiers and Highlands, in western North Carolina. One member of the Hill family, Hattie, an amateur photographer recorded the camping trip and assembled the photographs in an album. She also wrote a brief journal to accompany the photos. The photo album of 44 images and the journal comprise the Ora Rives collection. The journal, though brief, contains detailed descriptions of the daily activities of the camping party and of camping processes. Some photographs record activities either before or after the camping trip. The original photographs and journal have been retained by the Rives family and the collection is in facsimile only. The D.H. Ramsey Library is appreciative of the opportunity to reproduce this collection for its users. |
