| Biography/History | In this picture, an unnamed man sits in the buggy with Rachel. Rachel's shack is on the left, his shack is in the middle, and his mother's is on the right. This arrangement of households may have been made at the intersection of three quarter-sections where each home owner has set their own home on their own section. Families often wanted to remain close even though the law required them to live on their own claim. The dog is called Buster. |
