Belden (1888-1963) was born in San Francisco into a wealthy California family. He developed a life-long passion for photography when he purchased his first camera to record his travels throughout Germany and Russia after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1909. Upon his return to the U.S. Belden worked as a cowboy on the L.G. Phelps Ranch in Wyoming. He then went to work on and eventually managed the legendary Pitchfork Ranch near Meeteetse Wyoming. During his time at the Pitchfork Ranch between the 1920s and 1930s Belden produced a variety of images that captured life on the dude ranch including livestock activities as well as the surrounding western landscape. Many of his western photographs were taken on horseback aboard his reliable pony Pinky. He thought this gave him the desired perspective he was hoping to achieve. Belden's photographs were featured in various publications including National Geographic and the Saturday Evening Post.

• CA. 1893 GREAT AMERICAN COWBOY RACE
  CA. 1893 GREAT AMERICAN COWBOY RACE - BUFFALO BILLThis is an outstanding, historic and rare photograph showing the start of the Chadron-Chicago Cowboy Race to the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, June 12th, 1893, by photographer Foss & Eason Chadron, Nebraska. The large format photograph is marked in the negative, “Ready for the start Charon-Chicago Cowboy RACE June 13th, 1893, Photographed by Foss & Eason Chadron Neb.” The great 1,000-mile endurance race from Chadron, Nebraska to Chicago, Illinois is considered the undisputed “Great American Cowboy Race” that started June 13, 1893 with a field of nine riders, each with two horses. On the morning of June 27, 1893, the riders made it to Chicago and the “1,000 Mile Tree” at the site of the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, but the winning order was disputed. The racer was apparently the idea of Chadron jokester John G. Maher. Seven of the nine riders finished, with some traveling up to ninety miles a day. Nebraska badman “Doc” Middleton was an rider. John Berry won, riding Sandy and Poison, but was disqualified for having prior knowledge of the route. Chadron officials declared Joe Gillespie and Charlie Smith winners. Upon research of this race, and this image, none of the original photographs of the start, such as our example offered in this lot, are in the public market. The image is light and the large card has some loss to the edge. Provenance: From the Jim Aplan Piedmont, South Dakota collection. Measures 9 7/8” by 8”.
