Picnic on the Yellowstone River with Rimrocks near Billings

Details

DescriptionA picnic, with mostly women and children portrayed, near the Yellowstone River, 1882, just west of the Coulson town site, and south of newly platted Billings. They appear to be near the site of the Perry 'Bud' McAdow Farm, just prior to construction of his large barn. In Mid-September of 1882, the Billings Post noted that McAdow leased 25 acres of irrigated land to Marchington Perry and his brother, who created a large garden with potatoes, cauliflower, onions and cabbages, while most of McAdow's Farm was dedicated to wheat, oats and barley.TypeImageCreatorUnknownGenrephotographsDate1882SubjectPicnics--1880-1890Horse-drawn vehiclesMen's clothing -- 19th centuryWomen's clothing -- 19th centuryChildren's clothing -- 19th centuryContributing InstitutionBillings Public LibraryGeographic CoverageBillings, MontanaDigital CollectionBillings - Images of PlacesDigital Formatimage/jpgDigitization SpecificationEpson 1640 XL scanner. 8 x 10 image at 300 dpi, 8 bit greyscale.
