In a related context, the Indian police even now pose with crooks and criminals apprehended for crimes they may or may not have committed. I find it distasteful.Prashant C.

It seems to have been a practice to photograph captured Indians, though I don't believe that's the case in this photo.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-89294221038083650782012-01-18T10:48:00.921-08:002012-01-18T10:48:00.921-08:00Oscar, maybe it's partly underground.Oscar, maybe it's partly underground.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-79585057267770480082012-01-18T01:41:00.924-08:002012-01-18T01:41:00.924-08:00These are great pictures, especially the First and...These are great pictures, especially the First and Last Chance Bar. On enlarging the photograph I saw the "Oakland Brewery" signboards on either side of the saloon door. I have, only vaguely, heard of Oakland being famous for beer though I know nothing about its history. I'm also curious about the picture of the Indians at the police barracks in Saskatchewan, Canada. In the context of American-Indian wars, which raged through the better part of the 19th century, how unusual is that photograph?Prashant C.
