Snippets of Ranch History

We have boxes of old photos of life on the ranch that date back to the early 1900's and boxes of glass negatives and tintypes that date back even farther.  It is always a joy to riffle through these and sometimes you find a series of pictures, like the ones below, that tell a little story.

Is this what happens when men don't ask for directions?

  

 More reliable than AAA - a towing service via two horsepower...

Well, maybe we can unstick it if we try this end?

I also found these photos of my great grandfather, Stan Hunewill Sr, or "Mr. H" as I always hear him called.  He had a lifelong affinity for horses and we have countless photos of him astride a great many of them.  I particularly like the wooly chaps he is wearing in both these photos.  Also, it is very apparent that horses today are bred to look a little more refined and not as raw boned as these horses - particularly the dark horse in the second photo - but they are good looking horses in their own way.

I love looking at these little pieces of the past - and hopefully you do, as well!  Let us know if you would like to see more!
