Pat L. Tyhee (b. 1853 d. 1924), the son of Bannock Chief Tyhee, was one of the most photographed Indians of Fort Hall. Images of him date from 1884 to 1924. "Pat Tyhee before a haircut and a new suit," reads the original caption with this photograph in the Leonard Collection.

Pat Tyhee with a woman, possibly his first wife, Mary (b. 1864); both were Bannock. Judging from the backdrop and props, this is an early photograph from the Wrensted studio, taken about 1895.

Pat Tyhee and Theodore Turner (b. 1868 d. 1951). Turner was a Deputy Clerk in the U.S. Court and a U.S. Commissioner. In this capacity he might have tried minor offenses, set bail and conducted preliminary hearings for the members of the Fort Hall community. IMNH notes accompanying this photograph by Mary Garvey say: "Tyhee. . .offering his pipe to Theodore Turner. . .as a token of gratitude for the service that Mr. Turner had rendered at Fort Hall."
