Abstract
As we know, the Navajos are an American tribe of Indians, scattered for the most part over the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona. Quite a number of them live with their families, in the curious little habitations they erect, about the frontier military station of Fort Wingate, New Mexico. It is in this latter place that I have had the opportunity, for over two years past, of studying many of their ways and customs. And it was here, too, that, a few days ago, I went out among them with a photographic camera, armed with an English instantaneous shutter, with the view of taking a few pictures of them while they were actively engaged in some of their very interesting games.
