Look at the size of that horse.

The horseman is Chris Jensen. He had a place near Owanka, South Dakota in the early 1900's. His brother, Nels Jensen, my great grandfather had a horse ranch nearby on Rapid Creek. I never met Uncle Chris... but I would have liked to. I am not sure he ever married. He sold most of what he owned at a farm auction when he was called up to enter World War One. On his sale bill, he stated, "That he was going over to get 'Bill'." You history scholars may figure out what he meant by that. One thing that I had in common with Uncle Chris is that we shot the same 12 gauge shotgun. My Grandmother gave me that gun when I was in my early teens. It was pretty battered... a single shot... so I learned to make my shots count. I can still recall shooting ducks with that old gun
