Description
This interesting view shows a group of dog sled teams departing the Indian Agency at Pine Ridge, South Dakota; today part of the Native American Reservation of the same name. Mules pull sleighs filled with animal fodder while tightly bundled men, presumably from a U.S. Cavalry detachment, wield whips and trudge around in snowshoes. The agency was in its infancy in the early 1870s, and it’s possible the scene depicts a military excursion to pacify nearby tribes.
