Scope and content

A view of Camp Day, Oregon. A group of soldiers holding rifles stand in a line in front of a small grouping of white tents in a clearing surrounded by ponderosa pines. The soldiers are from Company L, Third Artillery division attached to Fort Umpqua at the Oregon Coast. A handwritten caption on the back of the photograph reads, "Co. "L", 3rd Artillery, U.S.A. at Camp Day, 1860. Photograph by Lorenzo Lorain."
Camp Day was a temporary military encampment established in the Klamath Basin in Southern Oregon during the summer and fall of 1860. The military expedition was a response to reports of potential conflicts between members of the Klamath and Modoc people and Euro-American settlers concerning land use and territorial rights.
