PHOTOS: Counting Sheep In Rosebud County (1939)
I was sidetracked this weekend by the Library of Congress archival photo collection. While looking for historic photos of the Tongue River valley I found these spectacular photographs of Montana ranchers counting sheep back in 1939. Evidence that yes, at one time, Rosebud County ranchers raised sheep.
I LOVE THEM. Sometimes, you see something so perfect you have to just sit back and appreciate it for awhile.
(All photos by Arthur Rothstein, 1915-1985)
. . . the REALLY good sheep counters count the sheep’s feet & divide by 4 . . .
