Cookman Collection #1

December 8, 1931

This winter scene shows a cat tractor pulling a double "Go Devil" sled negotiating a section of stream overflow on the road at Deception Creek. The cat and sleds are at near middle ground traveling away from the viewer. The cat and first sled have crossed the overflow area and are back up on the road or solid ice while the second sled is in the water and tipped precariously. A man stands at left of the first sled. Another man can be seen driving the tractor. Birch and alder trees are on both sides of the image with black spruce muskeg vegetation in background. Snow covers all.
