739-Photo of W. W. Daley at far left riding with group including Theodore Roosevelt. Information on this photograph from the web: "Pres. Theodore Roosevelt and party, riding from Laramie to Cheyenne, Telephone Canyon, May 1903, photo believed by B. C. Buffum.
Others in photo include N. K Boswell, first sheriff of Albany County (center background with beard); United States senator and former governor, F. E. Warren (on right in photo, see photo to lower left); and Van Ransselaer Schuyler Van Tassell, Goshen County rancher. Bert C. Buffum (1868-1944), to whom the photograph is attributed, was professor of agriculture at the University of Wyoming and director of the Agricultural Experiment Station from 1902 until 1907 and was an advocate of "dry farming." The 1903 ride was not the only extended ride made by Roosevelt on the political trails in Wyoming. In 1910, Col. Roosevelt rode the approximately 35 miles out to the Warren Ranch. Local cowboys speculated between themselves as to whether Roosevelt would ride back that night. He came back by motorcar. When confronted by the cowboys, Roosevelt protested that he used the car at the insistance of Senator Warren who did not want his guest riding back to Cheyenne by horse in the dark." (two copies)
