Transcription Notes:
Photographer's name is "Christman" (Holmes is sometimes bad about dotting i's and crossing t's). See https://books.google.com/books?id=h5woAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA224&lpg=RA1-PA224&dq=%22Chrislman%22+%22yellowstone%22&source=bl&ots=GUSuPv0k4i&sig=Cd7i4_8QbmKdMlAp16j9PDD2c4o&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi8v_ap_dPQAhUHJCYKHbW3BooQ6AEIHTAA#v=onepage&q=%22Chrislman%22%20%22yellowstone%22&f=false I believe it may in fact be Joshua Crissman and is just misspelled by Holmes, see https://mhs.mt.gov/Portals/11/education/docs/CirGuides/Jackson%20Yellowstone%201999.pdf -F.
