Native American military scouts, probably under the command of First Lieutenant Edward Casey at Fort Keogh (Custer County), Montana, pose on horseback. The men wear felt hats, military coats, gauntlets, striped trousers and diagonal leather chest straps. White soldiers or officers wear officers caps or hats, gauntlets, striped trousers and jackets over collared shirts. A tepee is near trees in the distance.
