Seven men are gathered in front of a large tent, possibly part of a railroad construction or surveying camp, in Park County, Colorado. The men are wearing guns in holsters and aprons; they are holding rifles, dish towels, a frying pan and a shovel. Cooking pots and pans are scattered on the ground in front of the tent, unsaddled horses are tied next to the tent, and covered wagons are behind the horses.
