This photograph depicts brothers Pete, Paris, and Neal (Cornelius) Hammons. This print is from the family's collection. Information provided by Robert Cooper in 1980 identifies the photographer who made the 6"x8"inch glass negative as Bob "Captain" Colebank of Sutton, West Virginia. Cooper quotes O. L. "Hink" Holcomb of Sutton as reporting that Colebank and Lory A. Holcomb were avid deer hunters who often sought out the Hammonses as hunting guides. Hink Holcomb said that, for this photograph, either Colebank or Lory Holcomb brought a phonograph and recordings of fiddle music with them to the Williams River, and the phonograph was included in this picture.
