Either that or they are boys/young men with bonnets.

Actually I have a feeling that some of the girls swapped bonnets for hats with a some of the boys as a prank. For instance the one standing in the boat near the stern looks like a boy. A girl wouldn't have her blouse open that far and if it's a girl she's a late bloomer

Also the 2 near the bow. One on the bank with their arm on the shoulder of the other. These would be some pretty hard looking girls and none of them appear to have bosoms.

Young folks on what was most likely a summer Sunday afternoon cutting up for the camera, change the clothing a bit and it could be today. Do notice 3 differeant variations of the Cattleman Crease in hat crowns.

Do we have a date for this picture? What do you suppose was going on?

Looks as if several families drove their buggies down to the river and then took a boat across to a sand bar to take a picture

Wonder what the occasion was??

Believe you are right , On a closer inspection they aren't what you would call attractive women. jt

Summertime at the S.D. Butcher farm near Gates, Custer County, Nebraska.

1899

The photograph was taken at the artificial lakes on the S.D. Butcher farm near Gates bridge on the north side of the Middle Loup river. These lakes formed from the Butcher & Griebel irrigation ditch.

Quote from: Nolan Sackett on April 27, 2007, 03:33:49 PMThe pistol looks small for the holster........Wet molding of gun leather is not just a "modern" method - again see Packing Iron for several examples, including those worn by Ed Schieffelin, the founder of Tombstone, his pair of holsters are heavily molded

Yeah I've seen a few in photos, I forgot about the one in PI. That is another one of those, "they didn't do that back then" I hear about from time to time. So many of the things folks post and tell me fit in the, "When the legand becomes fact, print the legand."
