During the late 1800s James K. Moore served as the post trader and Indian trader at Fort Washakie on the Wind River Reservation, located in the Territory of Wyoming.
Moore lived on the reservation for several decades during which he photographically documented life at the fort and the reservation. His son, J.K. Moore, Jr., continued photographing the area and people after his father’s retirement to California in 1906. This exhibit displays a portion of the Moore’s work as a pictorial window on the daily lives of people living at the fort and reservation during that period.
Size: 30 framed items (2 crates).
