5 3/4 x 4 in. cabinet photograph on cardstock mount. Titled on mount recto. Barry's imprint on verso. Fully visible in the image are two men and a dog sitting on either side of the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument memorial obelisk, erected in 1881 by the War Department. It lists the names the officers and soldiers "who fell near this place fighting with the 7th United States Cavalry against Sioux Indians."

The granite memorial sits atop Last Stand Hill, and the remains of soldiers and personnel are buried in a mass grave below, with some of the remains of 7th cavalrymen marked by marble gravestones.
