An interesting snapshot into the life of a Cheyenne tribesman named Stump Horn and his lovely family, proudly showing off their horse travois. Thought to have been aken at some point between 1871 and 1907.
Why We Like It
There is something special about looking back at portraits of family life from history. Particularly from a time period when cameras were a rare luxury and most people didn’t have access to them. The image itself shows a family of very, very serious looking women (except for the woman in the tent, she sneaked in a smile). While serious, they all look robust and healthy, as does their horse.
