A Fourth of July parade float near Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914. A note found with the original describes this as "Hillside Girls Float," indicating that the girls were from the Hillside neighborhood northwest of Forest Grove. A pennant on the front of the float that is faintly visible appears to say, "Hillside." One girl standing on a platform at the center of the float wears a sash that reads "Oregon." American flags and stars-and-stripes fabric decorate the float, which is built on a wagon drawn by a team of horses. Swags of greenery are draped over the wagon and the girls hold large bouquets of ferns and leaves, with crowns of flowers on their heads. For another view of the same float, see image PUA_MS154_048.
