About this postcard

The card shows a blue river winding through densely wooded green hills, with a few trees turning autumn colors and a mountain ridge in the distance. It is captioned "Greetings from Crookston, Minn." and paired with a short poem. Crookston is a city in northwestern Minnesota on the Red Lake River, and Curt Teich's "Greetings from" line often combined local names with generic scenic views.
