Frank Tenney Johnson wrote, “The Navajos here are a fine looking lot—and their horses are the typical ‘Injun ponies.’ I got some pictures of the Indians playing monte—and 2 of a fine looking chief, who was very nice to me… The Navajos are having a big horse sale here and buyers have come from all around.
