Ganges Band c1870
Photograph
A horse-drawn wagon loaded with eleven musicians. Most are holding brass instruments. A large bass drum is handing off the back of the wagon.
This image was featured as History Mystery #5 with the text: This band is still unknown. Both Saugatuck and Douglas had bands in the 1870s, and it could have been one of those.
