Dabbs, George H. (photographer)

Description

The side of a log cabin, which features a chimney, seen amid trees on the other side of a tilting stockade fence running along a dirt road. A horse grazes at the left side of the road near a cart which has been pulled aside, while a horse and buggy approaches. The title of the photo, which uses a term that may be offensive to many viewers, was provided by the creator of the album and thus presents the attitudes and assumptions of some people of the period in which they were produced.
