taken from about 200 yards distance, with penciled title lower right margin and Alexander Gardner Photographer and lower right 511 Seventh Street, Washington, and center Scenes in the Indian Country, 13" x 19", mounted on thin cream board 19.25" x 26". Omaha was the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad, and when Gardner took this image, was already a boomtown filled with bars, gambling houses and brothels. With the completion of the railroad in 1869, Omaha was poised to assume the position it holds today as Nebraska's largest city. Provenance: Ex Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland Condition: VG+.
