Description
العربية: تجميع الماشية على نهر السيمارون في كولورادو، نسخة مُلوَّنة عن صورة بيضاء وسوداء تعود لِحوالي سنة 1898، وهي تُظهر إحدى العمليَّات الكُبرى لِتجميع الماشية بِالطُرق القديمة قبل اللجوء إلى الأسلاك الشائكة، والأسوار، وغيرها من طُرق التجميع التي سهَّلت على البشر عملهم.

يغلب الظن أنَّ البلدة الظاهرة بالصورة هي سيمارون، عند المُقارنة بِالصُورة العائدة لِسنة 1883 على الجهة اليُمنى.

<يقول الخبراء في مكتبة الكونغرس أنَّ النهر الظاهر على اليسار هو نهر سيمارون. هُناك عدَّة أنهر في منطقة كولورادو تحمل ذات الاسم، ولكن عند الأخذ بعين الاعتبار الجبل الظاهر والذي يسهل التعرُّف عليه، يُمكن استنتاج أنَّ هذا أحد فُرُوع نهر گانيسون.
English: Colorado. "Round up" on the Cimarron, a photochrom print from c. 1898, showing one of the large musters of cattle done in the days before barbed wire, fences, and easy access to transport ended the necessity for the practice.

This is almost certainly in the town of Cimarron, compare the 1883 photograph on the right.

<The LoC identify the river on the left as being the Cimarron River. There are several rivers of that name in the Colorado area, but given the very easily-identifiable mountain in this image, this would be the one that is the tributary of the Gunnison River.
Français : Colorado. "Round up" on the Cimarron (Rassemblement du bétail à Cimarron), un photochrome de 1898 environ, montrant l'un des grands rassemblements de bétail qui se faisaient avant l'arrivée du fil de fer barbelé et du chemin de fer. Le lieu, Cimarron (Colorado, États-Unis), a été déduit de la comparaison avec d'autre photographies, dont celle de droite, montrant la localité à la même époque.
