Photos: Frontier Life in the West – Plog.
Found this at a blog spot, pictures of the west from the Denver post, here is their set up description:
Between 1887 and 1892, John C.H. Grabill sent 188 photographs to the Library of Congress for copyright protection. Grabill is known as a western photographer, documenting many aspects of frontier life — hunting, mining, western town landscapes and white settlers’ relationships with Native Americans. Most of his work is centered on Deadwood in the late 1880s and 1890s. He is most often cited for his photographs in the aftermath of the Wounded Knee Massacre on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Another good reference for ideas and the look of the old west for authors like myself who sometimes use that as a place and time for our stories.
