Photograph of gypsum cave, Colorado River, circa 1932

Date

1931 to 1933

Description

Inside of gypsum cave, possibly on the Nevada side of the Colorado River (although there is argument that this cave is on the Arizona side of the river). Conflicting descriptions with the photograph read: "Queho's grave site on Arizona side of Colorado River, Fortification Mt." "Not right. Queho's remains were found in Nevada. According to Cutright, blankets, pick, and shovel taken to 5th Bonanza for display at Helldorado. Photo taken inside gypsum cave. Cutright's caption is incorrect. Photo taken with flash shows excavations by Harrington in progress."
