The catalog record leaves open whether the man in this 1903 photograph was a prospector or a guide, and the bracketed title signals that the description was supplied later rather than taken from the original caption. The picture comes from the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection, which holds the work of a photographer best known for her portraits and early documentary views. Yellowstone, established in 1872 and mostly in Wyoming, drew visitors who relied on horses, wagons, and stagecoaches for travel within its roads, well before automobiles were admitted in 1915.
