Hopefully more photos like this will follow. I inherited/took over management of 2500-3000 negative, prints, and positives depicting life in the Teton Valley of Idaho. Most of the photos focus on Driggs and Victor, Idaho during the turn of the 20th century through the 1950's, although some of the photos are taken from around Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and up towards the Yellowstone National Park area. Some are identified, many are routine family portraits, but most show a lifestyle (hunting, trains, Native Americans, farming, cowboys) that is quickly disappearing.
This photo shows a young man, in pseudo-Boy Scout garb, just back from hunting with his hounds and one lucky sheep dog. He has bagged a coyote or a wolf, and the boy strikes a majestic pose, assured in the knowledge that he has help reduce the Teton Valley's biodiversity.
