Description

This black and white photograph shows a man with his face obscured by a hat, leading a bridled black horse up a rocky slope. He wears pants and a long-sleeved shirt. The horse tows a tarp-covered mass (petrified trees) atop a wooden sledge, and an individual following behind helps stabilize the indiscernible load, carrying a cord attached to it. This man also wears a hat and loose-fitting, light-colored overalls. In the background, stratified outcroppings rise, and in the foreground, loose rock and brush can be seen, making up the side of the slope upon which the men and horse walk up. Handwriting is below the photograph.
