Photo of the corral at Millspaugh mining camp with several horses in foreground. Three people in background by railing. Written in ink on bottom edge of photo: Sept. 1908 [date crossed out and replaced with 1907].
Caption on album page: Al, Bess on "Pearl," Will Erwin. "Rowdy" and "Rock," "Mustache," "Yaqui," "Chenette" and Dixie 6 moo. old. 1907.
Written in blue ink on reverse: Al, Bess, Will Erwin. "Rock" and "Rowdy," "Mustache," "Yaqui," and Chenette and her first colt "Dixie." Me on "Pearl"--what a name for a good sorrel mare. 1907, Millspaugh Calif. Taken the summer Grandma Marshall died July 4. "Yaqui" and "Moustache" were raised on the Newhall Ranch which branded their stock on the left jaw for the year foaled and "Mustache" had "98" on his jaw. "Yaqui" belonged to Andrew Jockius [sp?] and carried his brand on left hip [maybe drawing of brand, looks like "A"]. "Chenette" wore a 3 on her left hip, the brand of "Bill Johnson" Indian George's oldest son, Mike Hanson's full brother. They took names then of someone they worked for or who gave them a name. "Mustache" was a perfectly broken saddle horse--could do anything on him and to shoot off him he would stand like a statue and if you missed would look around you in a disgusted way.Collection
