Description
Photograph of a team of horses pulling a covered wagon in Scott Valley, Siskiyou County, ca.1905. A team of six horses pulls a covered wagon along a dirt road which bisects the middleground of the image horizontally. The leading pair of horses in the team is light in color, while the remaining four are darkly-colored. A low cloud of dust hangs at the horses' feet. The covered wagon is in two connected parts: a larger wagon in the front, and a smaller wagon in the rear. Both sections of the wagon appear to be made of wood, with wooden wheels, while their tops are made of cloth. Ropes criss-cross the sides of both wagons. The cloth top of the larger wagon sits crooked, creating a gap that reveals the top of the wagon's side, while a metal pail hangs from the middle of the rear wagon. A large hillside, dotted with trees, sits behind the road. Two wooden box-like structures, their sides made of angled slats, rest near the bottom of the hill. Intermittent wooden posts line the road on the side closest to the hill.
