This is a small promotional pamphlet for Camp Blackstone, a resort on the James River near Galena in Stone County, Missouri.  The proprietor was Dr. G. H. Black.

 

Camp Blackstone, “The Real Dude Ranch of the Ozarks,” was located about four miles up­stream from Galena on the James River opposite White Rock Bluff.  This illustrated promotional pamphlet advertises that golf, tennis, fishing, and swimming are available at the resort, where guests can stay in “screened bungalow cabins” complete with boats for $16.00 per week.  This un­dated pam­phlet probably was from the 1920s.  Photographs printed in the pamphlet suggest that the resort was previously known as Camp Yocum.
