Image Number441-15Date1893-1894DescriptionCaptain Brown's Leadville Company and Company K. of the Deputy Army, sent to suppress the 1894 Cripple Creek Strike, pose outdoors at Beaver Park, near Gillett, Teller County, Colorado. The men stand and kneel, some shoulder rifles while others take aim. In addition, several men in civilian clothes are manning what appears to be a Colt 1877 “Bulldog” Gatling Gun (single-axle carriage model). Parked next to the Gatling gun is a horse-drawn caisson with two men sitting on the single-axle ammunition carrier and man sitting on one of the two horses. One individual holding an American flag blowing in the breeze. Mine works stand in the distance. This is slightly different photographic view of image 441-16.
