<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 89613, member: 44&quot;]&gt;I believe what your seeing at the top is the outline of another tower like structure in back with two spires, not a cross.&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>You are so right - good eyes! After reading your message, I looked closely again at the pic and now see the tower. I thought possibly the tower was on the building. With the tower soooo out of focus/dim, I suspect you are right that it is behind building. The building may be a resort somewhere in the northern reaches of Minnesota, or where ever.</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt;One of them appears to have a sail in the front.&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Baker, I notices that spar, furled sail, or whatever. I can&#039;t image a sail on a land sled. Wonder if that particular sled was used for ice sledding or whatever it was called? They did have ice sailing back when, but that sled certainly wasn&#039;t constructed for ice sailing.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the Native American dwellings, I found a pic of a Piegan (Blackfoot) tepee and house of the same time period that looks very similar to this pic. Nowww, I always associated the Black Feet in Montana, but they could have spread early to Minnesota. Between you, me and the fence post, the landscape with that tepee and house looks more prairie-ish. For some reason I don&#039;t associate Minnesota with prairie lands, but as I&#039;m woefully ignorant of the Minnesota terrain, I&#039;m no doubt dead wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.firstpeople.us/tipi/a-piegan-home.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.firstpeople.us/tipi/a-piegan-home.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.firstpeople.us/tipi/a-piegan-home.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are Dakota Sioux at the Red Bub Agency in 1877 with combination of tepees and log houses:</p><p><a href="http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/h?ammem/psbib:@field%28DOCID+@lit%28p12691%29%29" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/h?ammem/psbib:@field%28DOCID+@lit%28p12691%29%29" rel="nofollow">http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/h?ammem/psbib<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mad.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" />field(DOCID+@lit(p12691))</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22795[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
