Description |
(front & back) Camp Fire Girl dress. Made to look like a Native American dress. It is made of brown cotton with leather fringe. The longest fringe down the front of the dress has colored wooden beads strung on it. Painted leather patches of various sizes are sewn both on the front and back of the dress. It has a V neck and laces at center front. Dress belonged to Gertrude Mae (Hersey) Jochumsen (b. 1885; d. 1968). Founded unofficially in 1910 and officially in 1912 by Luther Gulick, M.D. and Charlotte Gulick as a sister organization to the Boy Scouts of America. Much like the Girl Scouts, the Camp Fire Girls focussed on similar values thought to be vital to raising capable and productive citizens.
