John Y. Nelson, a scout and driver of the Deadwood Stagecoach, sits on a set of wood steps on a small hill in front of a teepee in a camp for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show near Earl's Court in England. Men sit on each side of Nelson. The man on the left wears a cap and suit, while the man on the right has a blanket wrapped around him and covering his head. Two Native American men sit near the base of the teepee. One of the men rests his right arm on a small stack of wood. Additional teepees are set up in the background.
