This album contains nineteen black and white photographs and photographic postcards taken in Montana and the American Northwest. Nearly half are identified photographs of Crow Indian chiefs taken by Dixon. The others show basket weaving, women carrying baskets, and individuals with masks and carvings. A few items are attributed to other expedition photographers, Edward B. Marcell, Richard Brouhard, and J. M. Colby.
