Description
Outside photograph of a homestead in the mountains. A woman and child dressed in European-American clothing stand outside the door of a log cabin. Two men, also dressed in European-American clothing, stand in the back of a horse-drawn wagon. The cabin is at the base of a hill and is flanked by a tall pine tree on either side. In the foreground of the picture is a small wooden structure with a sloped roof; the structure is approximately two feet tall and might be used for storage. The hillside directly behind the cabin has been mostly cleared of trees but other trees are visible farther away. Under the eaves of the cabin is a ledge on which are stored a number of items, including a barrel. Other items are on the ground against the front of the cabin. Next to one of the trees is an apparatus that might be a circular saw.
