This is a vintage photograph featuring two Native American men, identified as Burgess and Bogus Charley, with text below indicating they are Modoc Indians and prisoners under the charge of Capt. C.B. Throckmorton, 4th U.S. Artillery. The man on the left is younger, wearing a cap, a light-colored shirt, a vest, and patterned trousers tucked into boots. He holds a rifle with the barrel pointing downwards. The man on the right is older, with a long beard and weathered face. He wears a dark jacket, a vest, and trousers. A patterned scarf or cloth is visible around his neck. The photograph is sepia-toned and shows signs of age, with some fading and imperfections. The background is a plain, neutral tone. Below the image is a printed text block with the identification of the men and the certification by Capt. Throckmorton and Gen. Jeff. C. Davis, U.S.A. The image is bordered by a decorative frame.
