Most of the photographs have inscriptions underneath. 3 loose photographs are tucked in the back pages and do not include inscriptions.

Greenough Park in Missoula is featured throughout the album.

Of note are two photographs, one on page 22 of Native Americans standing on a street, and one on page 23 of a crowd listening to former President Theodore Roosevelt give a speech in Missoula.
