The object in the museum catalogue

A black-and-white photograph of a frame from the television show "The High Chaparral". The image shows a group of men and horses gathered outside. The horses are lined up in the foreground of the lower left quadrant. The middle of the frame is taken up with a group of several dozen men, many in civil war era military uniforms sitting on the ground. In the distance cacti and low mountains are visible. In the right portion of the frame three men, [L to R] Mark Slade, Henry Darrow, and Leif Erickson, who played main characters on the series, are seated on a bench. In front of them Len Glascow, in white suspenders and a broad brimmed hat, sits on a low chair and to their left the actor Yaphet Katto stands in profile behind a podium.
