Six Cabinet Card Photographs of Pioneers. [California?]: [No publication information] [Circa 1900-1910?] Six black and white photographs 4.5 x 6,5 in on curved cardboard mounts 5 25 x 7.25 in.
Excellent images of cowboys with a covered wagon. The images show cowboys on horse-back with a covered wagon; using poles to get the wagon up a steep trail; wagon and riders on a trail; wagon, horses and men in camp; view of a town with hills in the background and view of a farm or ranch. I was told by my seller that these images were with other images of Lakota Sioux, perhaps in Montana or Wyoming.
