Scene from one of the almost-daily parades through downtown Cheyenne during the annual Cheyenne Frontier Days celebration in the Wyoming capital.
The Western celebration that is viewed by an estimated 200,000 onlookers and throngs of tourists each year in a city of 62,000 people (as of 2015) includes one of the West's most celebrated rodeos, American Indian pageantry, free pancake breakfasts, and other events. Cheyenne Frontier Days have been a mountain-states tradition since 1897. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection. Digitally enhanced by rawpixel.
