A view of what has been identified as the camp of Billy Barnhart, on the bluffs above the Umatilla river. To the left can be seen a wagon draped with canvas or cloth. In the center of the photo stands a tipi supported by its wooden poles. In the right foreground stand two women at either end of a fish drying rack made of wooden poles. The rack is a little above the head height of the women and is covered with eels hung up to dry. A similar rack seems to be just visible on the extreme left of the picture. Both women are wrapped in blankets. The woman on the left has a plaid blanket, and is wearing a dark patterned cloth dress. Her hair is in braids, and a disc earring or hair ornament is visible. Her left hand is lifted and she is holding an object. On the ground near her feet is a white enamel bowl. To the left of the bowl is an object made of buckskin, possibly a large bag or pouch for toting the fish. The woman on the right wears a blanket patterned with stripes and ovals over a dark patterned cloth dress. Her dark hair also hangs in long braids. The Umatilla river winds through the middle of the picture, and the distant shore with its low trees rises up gently, while in the distance mountains are visible.
A view of a dwelling site identified as "Billy Barnhart's camp on the Umatilla". At the left of the photo stands a canvas tipi supported by wooden poles. The ground it stands on, and that of the bluffs that rise up behind it and follow the line of the river, is dry with small scrubby bushes. At the extreme right edge of the picture, part of a wooden wagon wheel can be seen, and its dark shadow shows it is a sunny day. In the center of the picture, a few feet from the tipi, sit two figures wrapped in dark plaid blankets. They are sitting on the edge of the bluff above the Umatilla river, and to their right there seems to be a path that would lead over the edge of the bluff. They appear to be children, possibly girls, and the blankets cover almost all their clothing; just a bit of pant leg and moccasins are visible on the figure on the left. Both seem to have their hair in braids, and the person on the left has a long light-colored strip, possibly an eagle feather or ermine, hanging from the left braid. There is an animal hide or piece of buckskin, next to the wagon wheel in the foreground; it appears to be draped over a stick or an antler on the ground.
