Description: Photograph. Albumen photograph measures 8 -1/2\" x 4 -3/4\" on buff mount has printed text underneath photo and title in the negative. Mount measures 10\" x 7\". Printed text reads: \"Black Hills, S. D. \'The Switzerland of America\' Reached by the \'North-Western Line.\' Photo by W. R. Cross. Hot Springs, S. D.\" Photo taken circa 1900. Image depicts freighting teams in the foreground with a young Rapid City, South Dakota in the background. Photograph is in very good condition, has good contrast and very little wear; mount has light wear and toning to all edges, and light soiling on verso. As the title states these teams were on the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad, the railway reaching Rapid City by 1886. Oxen teams such as this one could have hauled building materials and supplies for the railroad. William Richard Cross (1839-1907) , photographer of the Nebraska and South Dakota frontier, was based out of Hot Springs, South Dakota. Cross acquired a gallery in Hot Springs around 1888, photographing the growing town, Native Americans living at the nearby Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and the spectacular scenery of the Black Hills..
