Photograph of a man in a light blue, yellow, and navy cavalry uniform, holding a rifle and sitting on a honey-colored horse. His uniform is comprised of a black helmet with a long yellow plume, a navy jacket, light blue trousers with a yellow stripe down the leg, knee-high boots, and a saber attached to his hip. The horse is harnessed and saddled, with a small quilted blanket under the saddle. They are standing in a large, dry, dirt space, with three small, one-story houses in the far background. Behind the houses, there is a large, rocky cliff-range.

Photograph of six cannons, lined up facing left in a gravel or concrete lot in front of a two story building. One of the cannons in the middle has just fired, leaving a thick, light-colored cloud coming from the muzzle. To the right of the cannons, there are military members in uniform, standing with their backs to the cannons. There is a dark sedan parked to the left of the two-story building, and more cars are slightly visible past the cannons, parked in front of the building. There is handwritten text on the back of the photograph, signed by Jake Johnson.

Photograph of a middle-aged woman with dark hair, wearing a white suit jacket with a red hat, standing behind a wood podium. Behind her is a large group of people sitting in rows on either side of the podium. In front of the podium and the rest of the people on the platform, there are large strips of red, white, and blue fabric draped to imitate an American flag and separate the platform from the dirt lot in front of it. There is an American flag hanging from a flagpole on the far left end of the stage, behind the sitting people. In the background, there are three small, red brick, one-story houses sit in a row behind the platform and a tall, rocky range in the distant background.

Photograph of a middle-aged man with short, dark hair, wearing a brown suit jacket and tie, standing in front of a brown, wooden podium. Behind her is a large group of people sitting in rows on either side of the podium. In front of the podium and the rest of the people on the platform, there are large strips of red, white, and blue fabric draped on a frame to imitate an American flag and separate the platform from the dirt lot in front of it. There is an American flag hanging from a flagpole on the far left end of the stage, behind the sitting people. In the background, there are three small, red brick, one-story houses sit in a row behind the platform and a tall, rocky range in the distant background. There are National Park Service emblems over the red, white and blue bunting. This is likely taken at the event when Fort Davis National Historic Site was authorized as a unit of the National Park System in 1961.
