The lot features an original L.S. Hazeltine, Post Photographer for Fort Assiniboine, circa 1880 boudoir card albumen photograph of a mercantile “Store in Elkhorn Mountains” Montana; from the Tombstone Western Heritage collection. L.S. Hazeltine was the post photographer for Fort Assiniboine as well as operating Hazeltine's Studio at 433 S Arizona in Butte in the 1800’s. In 1895, he worked as a traveling photographer in Virginia City and Ennis. Notably, he produced an imperial cabinet photograph capturing a bird's-eye view of a thriving mountain town in Montana around 1900. The condition of this L.S. Hazeltine cabinet card is well preserved with a slight fold to the top right corner and shows some wear to the cabinet card consistent with the age. The measurements of this cabinet card is 5 1/4" x 8 1/2". P-131 L. S. Hazeltine was the official photographer of the fort and would have taken photos of the soldiers and local Sioux, Nez Perce, Chippewa and Cree people. The fort was located within a massive military reservation stretching south to the Missouri River, north to the Milk River and containing the Bear's Paw Mountains. It encompassed 704,000 acres (1,100 sq. mi.) at its maximum extent in 1880. At its peak, it garrisoned more than 750 officers and enlisted men and their families. With 104 buildings, the fort was one of the largest ever built in the United States. Notable assigned personnel included the post-Civil War 10th Calvary Regiment, later known as the Buffalo Soldiers, a segregated African American US Army unit, and General "Blackjack" John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force in WWI. The fort was operated by the US Army until 1911.
