The Rio Pueblo is in the foreground.A typed caption on the back of the photograph reads, "Life in ancient Taos Pueblo moves along in peace now, after watching centuries of history in New Mexico. The Rio Pueblo in the foreground divides the two high terraced communal buildings that make up Taos Pueblo. Kit Carson, famous scout in the early days once lived in the little village of Taos nearby and his body now lies buried in its little cemetery."
