Grandpa Walgamuth Montana Cowboy

This picture of my Grandpa Ernie was taken in Montana around 1910. I was always captivated by it. My first cousin Chris was too and now lives in Montana, so he set out to find the place it was taken. He also found a postcard from my grandma to Ernie before they were married sent to Montana. So in searching about Chris found the road the ranch was on and found the bunkhouse my grandpa probably slept in survives. He took this picture from a slightly different angle but the bump on the center peak identifies this as the same mountains that Grandpa sat in front of.

Fun stuff!
