F.M. Steele Photos

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.
