Judging Horses
Image
View across unpaved road towards a Native American man wearing a plaid overcoat with two work horses. A crowd of men are watching from the elevated wooden sidewalk and from the street, and in the background is the Loyal Theater. A Caucasian man is on the far right, possibly Joseph Wojta, pointing toward one of the horses. Wojta was a University of Wisconsin Extension agent who promoted improved farming techniques among Wisconsin's various Indian tribes.
