MONTANA WINTER


MONTANA WINTER, circa 1908. The solitary Crow tepee had leather thongs that secured the tepee poles for transport by horse. The Crow Indian Reservation, southeast of Billings (Montana), is home to 8,000 enrolled members.
Joseph K. Dixon, a former pastor, had worked in the camera department at the first Wanamaker department store.
