The passage discusses photographic accounts that documented life on the American frontier. It describes the work of two pioneering photographers, Solomon Butcher and L.A. Huffman, who captured images of settlers and daily life in the late 1800s. Butcher traveled through Nebraska photographing fellow settlers against backdrops of their choice, conveying the dignity of pioneers. Huffman photographed Native Americans, the buffalo hunt, sheepherders, and the development of towns in Montana from 1876 until his death in 1931, leaving a valuable collection of frontier images. The passage emphasizes that photographs can provide the most precise record to supplement written histories.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

questions below Answer all questions following the passage on the basis of what is
stated or implied in the passage. (9 points)
While the written word has done much to preserve history, pictures are
necessary to supplement the printed page. No other section of the American
frontier has been so richly endowed with a pictorical record of its past as has the
area encompassed by the headwaters of the Missouri River and its tributary, the
5 Yellowstone. For almost a century, beginning in the 1830s, artists with pencil and
brush added to the record. Although paintings and drawings often provide a very
valuable record, when pictures are considered from the standpoint of exactness,
the work of the photographer must come first.
In the spring of 1886, a 30-year-old sodbuster who had worked briefly as a
10 photographer back East hit upon the idea of producing an album of his fellow
settlers. For the next 15 years, as the pioneer era drew to a close, Solomon D.
Butcher crisscrossed Custer County, Nebraska, in a wagon that served as his
studio. He announced his forays with notices in the local newspaper: “Farmers,
have your farm photos taken for Butcher’s Pioneer History.” The fact that Butcher
15 was himself a farmer provided rapport with his subjects. But his genius as a
photographer lay in allowing them to pose as they wished, against scenes of their
own choosing. The portraits that resulted convey the dignity of pioneers in
challenging circumstances, and they remain a classic record of a resolute breed.
Another pictorical account of the American frontier was left by L. A. Huffman, a
20 young man of pioneer stock who arrived in the Montana Territory in 1876 to work
as a post photographer. When he died in 1931, Huffman left a priceless collection
of pictures of Indians in the last days of buffalo-skin tepees, the buffalo hunters in
the days of the open range, the lonely life of the sheepherder, the growth of the
range towns, the coming of the railroads, and the final infiltration of the “plow
25 man.”
