Summary[edit]

Description
Arapaho camp

Four Men in Native Dress in Camp; Meat Drying on Rack, Brush Structure, and Tipis Nearby 1869.[1]

This photograph is said to be of an Arapaho camp near Camp Supply. The picture was taken by Soule in 1870. The band camped here had just completed a successful buffalo hunt, for there is meat hanging to dry, both in the foreground and also just over the head of the man wrapped in the blanket on the left. The reason for the large pile of brush is not known. It may have been built as a wind-break or sun shade, although for the latter purpose an arbor was usuallly erected, so that the air could circulate.
