Content Description

The text and photographs (49 black-and-white silver gelatin photographs, 24 x 17.5 cm. and smaller) document the travels across the country of Vaudeville performer Ernest Dupille in 1914. He traveled all over the western United States and wrote his observations down in a notebook entitled, "Travels of a Troubador" (58 pages of holograph text, single-sided). Dupille's observations include facts about the places visited and his perceptions of the people. The photographs include scenic views, Dupille posing with local people, and images of Native Americans. He does not, however, offer much comment on his performances.
