The record places this scene at Pocatello, Idaho, in 1903, with a line of men and one woman waiting in what appears to be a land rush. Covered wagons in the tracings suggest many arrivals came overland rather than by rail. Federal openings of former reservation and public lands in the Intermountain West drew homeseekers in the early 1900s, and crowds often gathered before dawn to file claims first. The caption card's details are unverified, so the exact land office and the event's specifics are worth checking against other sources before you rely on them.
