Bingham County,ID - 1864-1879 - Snake Indians Stereoview :
Although we are not certain this photo was taken on the Ft. Hall Reservation, the people in the photo are definitely Snake Indians from period handwriting on verso. The photo shows 3 Indian men standing behind 3 seated Indian women and one toddler. There are bundles of clothing and/or animal skins on the ground in front of the women. In the background is a horse that may be harnessed to a travois. Yellow matting with the name Geo. W. Thorne, 60 Nassau St., New York embossed at one end. Thorne’s business on Nassau St. was listed as “Albums” (probably photographic albums), and operated from 1864-1879. He claimed a stereoview list of over 3,000 subjects [Ref: www.home.centurytel.net/3dcor/Becker]. 3.5 x 7.”
