EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1889 captures the essence of a Cheyenne family's life on the Great Plains. Stump Horn, a respected Northern Cheyenne scout, stands proudly with his wife and children in front of their tent at Fort Keogh, Montana. The sepia tones add an air of nostalgia to this snapshot frozen in time. The focal point of the image is a majestic horse pulling a travois, which carries two precious children wrapped snugly in blankets. It showcases the resourcefulness and ingenuity of Native American culture as they utilized every available means for transportation. Stump Horn's strong presence on horseback symbolizes his role as both protector and provider for his family. His wife stands beside him, radiating strength and resilience that echoes throughout her people. Together, they embody the spirit of unity and love that binds families together across generations. Christian Barthelmess skillfully captured this intimate moment amidst the vastness of the American Northwest. Through his lens, he immortalized not only this specific Cheyenne family but also provided us with a glimpse into an entire way of life that was deeply connected to nature and rooted in tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are reminded to cherish our own families and honor those who came before us – their stories etched forever in photographs like these.
