- Crow People, Wyoming Territory, 1882 - The Apsaalooke (Crow) occupied the game rich lands in the Yellowstone River basin of Wyoming and Montana. By the second half of the 1800s, encroachment by other Native American tribes and the influx of white settlers constricted the size of their traditional hunting grounds. Treaties signed with the U.S. government in 1868 and 1882 ultimately confined the Apsaalooke to a reservation in south central Montana.

- Birds, Stuffed and Mounted by John Burroughs, circa 1865 - A lifelong birder, naturalist John Burroughs did not limit his study of feathered creatures to simple observation. He often actively collected birds on hikes, later stuffing and mounting his specimens in glass cases much like this one. Some of Burroughs' other taxidermy works include a fifty-bird exhibit for his wife's front parlor and an arrangement of Catskill Mountain birds for his mother.
