Historic Pictures of the Old West

I am captivated by the pic of the guy carrying the deer like a purse. That is not a light load but he doesn't seem the least bit bothered by it.

 

HISTORIC PICTURES OF THE OLD WEST   Captions are sketchy, but at least there are some.  I can only imagine the hardships the anonymous photographer(s) suffered to get this historic documentation.
