Description
-
These photographs depict a group of male missionaries attending and being in the cast of the Hill Cumorah Pageant sometime in the late 1940s.
The first photo shows two men posing in their costume attire. They both play soldiers in the play.
The second photo shows Hill Cumorah in Palmyra, New York. You can see the roadway at the bottom of the hill and a large monument on top of the hill.
The third photo shows a group of males, all wearing white shirts and slacks. They are posing for a photo next to props for the Pageant.
The fourth photo has a group of males posing for a photo surrounding a pickup truck. They are smiling and are outside of someone's home.
The fifth photo shows a group of males fooling around. Two of them have grabbed a third man, while a fourth pours water on him. They are all laughing.
The sixth photo is similar to the fourth, with a group of males posing for a photo around a pickup truck, possibly the same one. This time, some of them are inside the cab, and some are in the bed of the truck. The man in the driver's seat is wearing a large silver metal bowl on his head.
