The collection contains four black/white copy prints of a Montana roundup, taken by Western photographer Laton Alton Huffman, of Miles City, Montana, ca. 1905, 1913. There are two copies of one print that appears as image no. 114 in Mark Herbert Brown and W. R. Felton's "Before Barbed Wire: L. A. Huffman, Photographer on Horseback" (New York: Henry Holt and Comapny, 1956).
Brown and Felton noted that Ruth Huffman Scott of Miles City, Montana, owned the Huffman negatives when their book was published (1956) and that prints from the negatives still were available to collectors at that time. It seems probable that the four prints in this collection are such later copy prints.
