A sepia tone cabinet card photograph of a Buffalo Soldier wearing a buffalo hide coat. Captured in studio against a solid backdrop, a young dark-haired Buffalo Soldier, holding a 25th Infantry uniform cap, stands gazing to his proper left. He wears a calf-length buffalo hair coat and military uniform beneath it. The floor beneath him is a mottled floral pattern, and “J.C.H. Grabill, Photographer” is printed in brown ink across the soldier’s feet. “STURGIS, DAKOTA TER.” is printed at the bottom of the photograph card.
On the reverse of the cabinet card in large reddish ink type is: [Colorado, Wyoming and Dakota / VIEWS. / INCLUDING / Cattle Scenes in Wyoming and Dakota. / FOR SALE BY / J. C. H. GRABILL / STURGIS, DAK. TER.].
