Photographs of F.M. Steele

Francis Marion Steele left a priceless history of the High Plains Region in the form of his photographs. Mr. Steele married a woman from Meade County and based his business here at times. We are trying to digitize all of Steele's photos that we can find. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Read our article about Steele's life.
