Set in the late 1830’s, two fort employees take a break from work.
A perennial favorite board game, checkers originated in Africa over 4,000 years ago. It was played in various forms by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, and later, throughout the modern world.

The fellow on the left holds a buffalo tail fly-whisk and the other fellow sits on a slanted hide-fleshing log… which is why the first guy needs the fly-whisk.
