A young white man skins a raccoon hanging on a nail against a wooden building with a boy and a young girl watching. Caption reads: "It was the fashion among the boys and men of this half-wild country to have hair-cuts only at long intervals. In this vicinity were the Hudson River, and the land of that famous sleeper, Rip van Winkle.
