| 説明 | Burrows' CampCAMP REST A WHILEDate: Circa 1909Source Type: PostcardPublisher, Printer, Photographer: NelsonPostmark: NoneCollection: Steven R. ShookRemark: Written on reverse in pencil: "Crew that built bridge over Kankakee R. at Dunn's Bridge, Indiana stayed here." Burrows' Camp was situated in Porter County, directly north of Dunn's Bridge. It was here that Leonard Burrows and his wife, Mary, operated a pleasure resort consisting of a theatre, which was later converted into a dance hall, and a horse-drawn merry-go-round. Just north of Burrows' Camp was a saloon, while directly east of Burrows' Camp was a combination store and residence. The dance hall and store/residence were later destroyed by separate fires.------The following newspaper item concerning Burrow's Camp appears in the July 29, 1915, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:Citizens Complain of Burrow's Camp.Burrows’ camp, on the Kankakee, where Mr. Burrows hands out the refreshments from his saloon to many customers, is termed by some people of Jasper and Pulaski counties the black eye of this region. Many letters have been pouring into this county [Porter County] protesting against a saloon license, which may or may not be granted to Burrows at the next regular meeting of the county commissioners. The matter has been pending since two months ago. The commissioners have not indicated what will be done in regard to it.Pulaski county is dry. So is Jasper. Hundreds of men, thirsting for the forbidden beverages in their own counties, come to Burrows' camp, the remonstrators claim, and families are distressed, homes broken up, and accidents to the merrymakers occur on the joyrides. Burrows, in the face of the accusations, declares that he runs the business in compliance with the law.------The following newspaper item concerning Burrow's Camp appears in the July 11, 1918, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:CHESTERTON LOCALS.John Smith, in charge of the resort at Burrow's camp, on the Kankakee river, was arrested Thursday by Sheriff Forney on a charge of selling liquor. Nathan Samuels was acting as a bartender for Smith at the resort. The officers caught them in the act and found a quantity of liquor on hand. The resort at Burrow's camp is owned by a son of Smith, who is in the army. Both men were brought to Valparaiso and released on bonds. F. B. Parks was retained as counsel, and he will endeavor to prove that the liquid dispensed was not liquor. Prosecutor Jensen filed an affidavit against the men Friday morning and they will probably be bound over to the circuit court.Sources:The Chesterton Tribune, Chesterton, Porter County, Indiana; July 29, 1915; Volume 32, Number 19, Page 8, Column 4.
