Image: Colorado. Round up on the Cimarron

Description: Colorado. "Round up" on the Cimarron, a photochrom print from c. 1898, showing one of the large musters of cattle done in the days before barbed wire, fences, and easy access to transport ended the necessity for the practice. This is almost certainly in the town of Cimarron, compare the 1883 photograph on the right. <The LoC identify the river on the left as being the Cimarron River. There are several rivers of that name in the Colorado area, but given the very easily-identifiable mountain in this image, this would be the one that is the tributary of the Gunnison River.
