Men and Indians on Main Street or. . . . Men and Other Men Dressed as Indians on Main Street

GROUP AT A CELEBRATION (titled on the back)
Names on the back, but not in order: John Nicholson, Knute Thurklesen, Peter Fredericksen, Peter Monson, Oscar Barton, Joseph Johansen, Geo Larsen, Joseph Wise, Dolph Bennett, Mason Larson, Elijah McClenahan, Thomas Ivie, John Stansfield, Ellertsen, Ellisher Brandon, PeterA. Larsen, Charles Averett, James D. Meyrick, Edward Zabriskie

Its my guess that this was a re-enactment with white men dressed as Indians. The names listed were some of the first settlers to Mt. Pleasant. Also of interest is the posters in the background advertising "Ten Nights in a Bar Room".
