Large, 1880's, albumen cabinet photograph by  W. J. Carpenter, Fort Lewis, Colorado.    The two Chiefs were photographed in the Studio behind a fabricated bush.    The man on the left holds a Burgess rifle while the man on the right holds a 1873 Winchester rifle.   In my opinion, it is rare to see any photograph of early, armed Navajo Indians.
