A man in a striped shirt and hat leads a pack horse across a dry, rocky landscape in California, 1938. The horse, equipped with a saddle and bridle, carries cargo including a deer carcass on its back. The man holds the lead rope as the animal grazes briefly before continuing the journey. Shot on 8mm film, this vintage home movie captures a moment of rural transportation and survival in the American West. The grainy black-and-white footage shows natural movement and the rugged terrain of the era.
