Image Caption: Caption
1: A portion of a crew hanging cups. The man on horseback is called a "woods
rider". His duties are to inspect and supervise the woods work at a turpentine
place [on the Choctawhatchee National Forest in Florida].
Cup-hanging is usually done by piecework. A tallyman keeps a check on each hand
and credits him with a face completed as the hand finishes and sings out some
identification -- usually the name of a railroad or State.
Caption 2: Woods rider with crew putting up cups.
