1) Buffalo Grazing North Montana, 1880 by L. A. Hoffman. Image size: 7.25" x 9.25" , nicely framed: 15" x 17.25". Reproduction, but a very good one. Frontier photographer Laton Alton Huffman (1854 1931) arrived in Fort Keogh, Montana Territory, in 1879, ten years before Montana became a state. He captured the spirit of the American West like no other artist. Equally comfortable photographing Plains Indians and working cowboys, Huffman worked both in the studio and out on the open range, carrying his camera on horseback as he documented untamed Western landscapes and the last of the buffalo herds. (L. A. Huffman: Photographer of the American West by Larry Len Patterson) L.A. Huffman wasn’t the first photographer working in Montana in the late 1800s, but he was one of the few who stayed to chronicle the story of the West. Huffman grew up in Waukon, Iowa, taking photos alongside his father, P.C. Huffman. In 1878, the young Huffman headed west on a wagon train, but it was turned back in Kansas after a close call with Chief Dull Knife’s warriors who were fleeing the 4th Cavalry. The next year, Huffman took an unpaid position as photographer at Fort Keogh in Eastern Montana. Over the next five decades, Huffman photographed some of the last buffalo hunts on the northern plains and Indian chiefs before they were sent to reservations.
