Description

Early day roundup at Beer Mug Ranch, north of Medicine Bow. Update - 2009: Black & white print of a very large group of cowboys on horseback in a horizontal line across center of image with loaded wagons at side left and right of this line. A log structure with sod roof and rocked outside chimney on side right of building. A large barren mountain rises in the background with barren ground seen in image foreground. Written on back in black ink: Early day roundup at the Beer Mug Ranch north of Medicine bow. Picture given by Mrs. Fred Roberts of Hanna. Tiny white sticker on back corner has Medicine Bow written in pencil. Fair condition with wear and soiling on all edges. Small areas of top surface all lifted off along top edge. There is a large dark area over right side and lower right quadrant of image - possibly processing anomaly or negative distortion. There is intense wrinkling of all edges. Corners are bent with resultant cracking of emulsion. There are several tiny black & white dots on surface. Back surface has yellowed along all edges, especially top and side left edges. Update 2020: The hill in the background is named: "Beer Mug Hill."
