Dave Richoux from KFJC writes... Here are some more interesting things for you, I do not know who owns the rights to these pictures. Certainly Zobo bands seemed to have enjoyed popularity. Here's a photo showing a Zobo trio with the caption CREATED/PUBLISHED [1896 or 1897?]
SUMMARY: Colorado National Guard soldiers pose with trumpets in Leadville, Lake County, Colorado, during a mining labor strike of the Western Federation of Miners. A rack of rifles are seen against interior canvas tent walls.

Dave Richoux from KFJC writes... Hey Captain, I came across this photo at the Foothill Flea market yesterday and though you might be interested in it.
The scan shows the band in the foreground - the rest is a group of people on horseback and on wagons in some western Texas or Oklahoma town circa 1875 -1890 or so. The horns look like some sorts of large kazoos but not much like the Zobo horns on your website. I have done dome investigations into the Oneto Tribe with no results...
