The Combat—Tilloquats—Yee-Yee—Cayuse Tribe
Description
An outside photograph of two Native American men dressed in Pendleton blankets posing on the bank of a river in the wintertime. Both men have their hair in braids, with a single feather attached. Each man is aiming a bow and arrow at the other. The photographer has identified the man on the left side of the photograph as Tilloquats; he is holding his bow in his left hand and one arrow, fitted into the bow, in his right hand. Hanging off his right arm is a whip. He is bare-chested and wears his Pendleton blanket wrapped around his waist. One moccasin can be seen from under his blanket. The photographer has identified the other man as Yee-Yee, and he is holding his bow in his left hand -- fitting the arrow into his bow with his right. He is dressed with a Pendleton blanket over his left shoulder; there are pants or leggings under the blanket. On his back he has a quiver with hawk feathers. In the background lies the river, leading to a rising riverbank. There are leafless cottonwood trees on the other side of the river and patches of snow on the ground. In the far background is a gently rising hillside.

149. Queenstown and the Remarkables Mountain Range, Southland
Queenstown and the Remarkables Mountain Range, Southland
Description
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Queenstown itself is like a town lifted into reality from a fairy story. The foot of Queenstown rests on the deep blue water of Wakatipu, which has a serpentine lengths of 52 miles and amid majestic mountains. Facing the town are the Remarkable, huge sierras sculptured nobly by gigantic agents of Nature, and there are other rugged ridges and graceful peaks that help to make the charm of this peaceful lake land. This was a battleground of titanic glaciers long ages ago, but the monsters have lost much of their might, and have retreated to distant heights."
150. Alpine Glaciers
Alpine Glaciers
Description
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Of the three great classes referred to above, the most widely known is the alpine type, which derives its name from the mountains of central Europe, where it was first studied. Alpine glaciers occur about high peak and on the summits and flanks of mountain ranges in many parts of the world, but reach their most perfect development in temperate regions. The Himalayas, the Alps, the mountains of Scandinavia, the Southern Alps of New Zealand, the Cordilleras, etc., furnish well-known examples. Glaciers of this type originate as a rule in amphitheaters and cirques, partially surrounded by lofty peaks and overshadowing precipices, and flow through rugged valleys leading from them as winding ice rivers which carry the excess of snow falling on the mountains into the lower regions, where a higher mean annual temperature causes it to melt. They are essentially streams of ice, formed usually by the union of many branches, and end abruptly when the drainage changes from a solid to a liquid form."
