About this postcard

A view looks down over a broad lake ringed by wooded, rolling hills. A small building and an open field sit on the far shore, with trees framing the foreground. The caption names the spot as State Camp, Peekskill, N.Y., in the Hudson Highlands north of New York City. State Camp was a New York National Guard training site, and the surrounding hills and water gave the encampment a rural setting within reach of the Hudson River railroad.
