DescriptionBlack and white photograph of a Native American camp site called Horseback's Lodge. It was taken at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and dates to 1858. In the foreground there are two tepees with four Native American women or girls and one, possibly Caucasian, man kneeling in front of the proper right teepee. The man is wearing a hat and has a beard. The women are wrapped in blankets. It may be fall or winter because the trees in the background look bare. This photograph is mounted onto an orange board with the photographer's name, W.S. Soule, and location, Fort. Sills, printed on the back. Old Remarks:
