The flat rock club: photocopy, [after 1945].

The item is a photocopy of Raymond G. Taylor's short memoir: "The "Flat Rock" Club." The essay describes an Idaho ranch and fishing club frequented by Taylor and several other physicians from Southern California. Taylor details the layout development of this rustic summer vacation spot from a bare ranch house in the late 1910s to a veritable resort along the Snake River just west of Yellowstone National Park. He tells comical anecdotes about effite, well-to-do urbanites attempting to rough it. He relates the uneven, ocassionaly hostile, relations between the fishing club and the regions regular residents. Mainly, however, Taylor describes fishing: types of fish, places he fished, tackle and gear.
