Yellowstone Pete Mule Train Group Portrait RPPC

More mules. More wagon. More evidence that Yellowstone Pete had the kind of commitment most of us cannot even bring to finishing leftovers.

This vintage real photo postcard shows Yellowstone Pete, a companion, multiple mules, and the covered wagon in a group portrait-style scene. The front is marked Mule Train - 51 - Model, and the wagon carries the Yellowstone Pete Seeing America by Mule Train signage. It is a wonderful piece of Western travel history with just the right amount of dust, drama, and stubborn charm.

The image has great display appeal: tall trees in the background, open country, the wagon and team spread across the scene, and the people posed proudly in the middle of their mule-powered adventure. It is ideal for collectors of RPPCs, Western Americana, mule team photography, Yellowstone or Montana-related ephemera, and unusual travel history.

This is the sort of postcard that earns its place in a collection because it is not just pretty. It has a story. Possibly several. Some of them probably involve mules refusing to cooperate.

Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition with age toning, visible staining/marks, corner and edge wear, and surface wear. Back appears unused with no stamp or message. Please review photos carefully.

Confidence notes: The Yellowstone Pete mule train signage is visible. The exact location and date are not confirmed from the card.
