Late 1800s like around the 1890s I would say. Love those super tall bowlers.

There's a lot of life's stories that can probably be told judging my the lines in his face & his cap.

WTH?

I've gotta leave this country
I think I'm goin' crazy
Things are gettin' fuzzy
The outlook's gettin' hazy
I tried to cross the borders
I tried to jump the fences
I never made it farther than the smelly parts of Kansas
Sometimes I feel like a cow led to the slaughter
The longer I let myself linger here in this backwater

Charles Belden left hundreds of amazing images of the West. Much of his images take us to the Pitchfork Ranch in Wyoming from 1921 to 1940.
