Laton Alton Huffman (1854-1931) is well known for capturing photos of life in Montana, including ranching and natural wildlife. By 1880 the number of American bison had dwindled from an estimated 60,000,000 in the previous century, to less than 400,000 due to irresponsible over-hunting. Provenance: The John Fox Collection
