Show A postcard photograph of Old Snow, Shem, and Frank Mustash. Three notable Shivwits Paiute Indians who lived in the Village of Shem of the Shivwits Agency in Santa Clara, Utah. The three men are posing on or next to an undecipherable wooden structure. To the left, behind Old Snow is a tall post attached to a wire fence that runs off the edge of the frame. Old Snow (leaning against wooden structure left) is wearing semi-dark pants, a light colored shirt, a full beard, and is holding a cap in his hands which are held out in front of him resting atop of a walking stick. Shem (center sitting atop of the wooden structure) is wearing a light colored shirt, dark pants, a goatee, and is holding a large brimmed dark hat in his left hand. Frank Mustash (standing right) is wearing a light colored shirt beneath a semi-dark overcoat, light colored trousers, knee high boots, and holds a wide brimmed light colored hat in his right hand. In the background are a mass thicket of foliage and the post of a wooden fence to the right. At the very left is visible the side of a building or house. |
