DescriptionA group of men and women stand in a circle outdoors. There is a tent and large wooden pole behind them to the left, and a small building directly behind them. A harnessed horse is visible behind them to the right. The person closest to the camera is a man in uniform. His back is turned. There is a pile of belongings next to him, including a suitcase.
The woman facing the camera and wearing a white shirt might be Alice "Cass" Cheney. The man on the far right, facing the camera, is probably Russell Cheney.
