As we know, the man in the seat of honor is Al. G. Barnes himself. I have a fine print of this shot, but did not know until this day who the elephant man was. I trust we all are grateful for the points of history that turn up here which might never be found elsewhere.
Whoa. I just expanded this one, and notice Cheerful Gardner is credited with the hook. I'm thinking Gardner had the herd, and Mr. Nance was escorting Tusko for the shot--?
