About this postcard

A rocky, tree-lined shore on one of the Twin Lakes at Sagamore, near Milford, with calm water and dense woods; a single tree stands at the water's edge. The caption identifies the spot as Sagamore-on-Twin-Lakes, a lakeside resort area in the Poconos that drew summer visitors from New York and New Jersey. Gloria's August 1946 note to her mother in Jersey City reports that she arrived safely and expected to have a nice time. Her stay places the scene in the middle of the Poconos' busy summer season just after World War II.
