A group of men works to pound a large, log stake into the ground to support the large tent for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The men stand in a circle and take turns pounding a stake with sledgehammers. Two men stand slightly apart from the group watching them work. The large tent is spread out on the ground behind the men. Several wagons are parked in the center background.
