Here are some related items we’ve sold:
Albumen photograph of the mass grave from Wounded Knee, taken 1 January 1891, three days after the massacre on 29 December 1890. Photograph is captioned in the negative, “Bureal of the Dead at the BattleField of Wounded Knee S.D.” and published in “Eyewitness at Wounded Knee” where it stated that this mass grave “on the small hill where the Hotchkiss guns had been positioned” would ultimately contain 146 bodies. This photograph and another albumen were both taken by Northwestern Photo Co. of Chadron, Nebraska, whose company is well known for documenting the Wounded Knee massacre and its aftermath. Photograph measures 7″ x 4.25″, affixed to mat where the other 7″ x 4.25″ photograph on verso, possibly unpublished, shows Buffalo Bill Cody standing alongside Lakota Sioux (possibly with Big Road at center) and U.S. officers. Mat measures 10″ x 7″. Some buckling, foxing and staining to mat. Small abrasion to bottom left of Buffalo Bill photo, overall very good condition. Sold for $2,500.
Lot of two photos taken by David F. Barry, the western photographer whose portraits of the Lakota people earned him the nickname ”Little Shadow Catcher” by the tribe. First photo is a famous photo of Sitting Bull, with Barry’s embossed copyright stamp to lower portion. Measures 6.375” x 8.375”. Photo is affixed to black construction paper, on the verso of which is the second photo, showing ”Sioux Indian War Dancers / Ready for the Ghost Dance”. An arrow points to one of the men as ”Best Dancer of the Sioux”. It’s not known if this is Barry’s handwriting. Photo measures 9.5” x 7.375”. Silvering to edges, overall very good to near fine. Sold for $1,700.
Two American Indian Signed Cabinet Cards
Two Native-American cabinet cards signed, both housed in one frame. One is named Spotted Tail and the other is named Red Cloud with a short biography below each image; Spotted Tail was “known for being a shrewd and calculating warrior and chief” while Red Cloud “orchestrated the most successful war against the United States ever fought by an Indian nation.” Overall condition is fine with the Spotted Tail photo having a pinhole at top. Sold for $1,504.
Two Original Photographs From 1890-91 of the Pine Ridge Agency, Near the Site of the Wounded Knee Massacre — One Photograph Depicts the 7th Cavalry Encapment Just Days Before the Massacre
Two original albumen photographs taken by Northwestern Photo Co. of Chadron, Nebraska, whose outfit is well known for documenting the aftermath of the Wounded Knee massacre. One photo ominously shows the 7th Cavalry encampment ”before the Fight…Dec 29th 1891”, mis-identifying the battle as 1891 rather than 1890. Photo is published in ”Eyewitness at Wounded Knee”, which writes of it, ”The Seventh Cavalry arrived at Pine Ridge after a twenty-five mile ride from Rushville. No other cavalry regiment in the entire army evoked the images of the old Indian-fighting army than it did. Several of its officers and men had fought at the Little Big Horn, and, because of this and romantic notions of fate and destiny, the myth of a ‘revenge’ motive for its actions at Wounded Knee gained undue credibility…” Photograph shows photographer Charles Moreledge in the foreground. Photograph is affixed to mat, upon which the other side shows the second photograph, possibly unpublished of ”Chief Fast Thunder’s Camp”. Each photo measures 7” x 4” upon mat measuring 10” x 7”. Some soiling and buckling to mat, but photos are very good, with especially good contrast to Chief Fast Thunder photo. Sold for $1,250.
Two original albumen photographs from 1890 and 1891, taken by Northwestern Photo Co. of Chadron, Nebraska, whose company is well known for documenting the aftermath of the Wounded Knee massacre. One of the photos shows dead Lakota Sioux being hauled away in a wagon with the following caption in the negative, ”Gathering up the Dead at the BattleField at Wounded Knee S.D.” The photo is also published in ”Eyewitness at Wounded Knee” where it’s written, ”The burial party collected the dead from the ravine south of the Indian camp where many had sought shelter. Army officers look on.” The second photo, on the verso, shows the ”Grand Council Between Friendly and Hostile Indian Chiefs”. Also published in ”Eyewitness at Wounded Knee”, the situation is described, ”General Miles enlisted the aid of several Indian leaders to induce the surrendered Ghost Dancers to give up their weapons. A council was held on January 17 [1891], during which the Indians expressed their opinions on disarmament. Speakers included Kicking Bear, Two Strike, Young Man Afraid of His Horses, American Horse, Short Bull, High Pipe, and Standing Soldiers. The only whites invited to speak were Lieutenant Taylor of the Indian scouts and ex-agent Valentine T. McGillycuddy. When the council concluded, only 104 guns were surrendered, but by the end of the month even the more belligerent dancers would concede to Miles’s demands.” Photos measure 7” x 4.25”, affixed to an album mat measuring 10” x 7”. Some buckling and staining to mat. Photos are a bit light, and Sioux conference photo has some abrasions at center left. Good condition. Sold for $1,250.
Two original albumen prints from 1891, taken by Northwestern Photo Co. of Chadron, Nebraska, whose outfit is well known for documenting the aftermath of the Wounded Knee massacre. One of the photos numbered 89, ascribed to photographer C.C. Pierce, showing Chiefs Two Strike, Crow Dog and High Hawk, identified as ”Leaders of the Hostile Indians at Pine Ridge Agency S.D. During the late Sioux War”. With copyright in the negative of ”NW Photo Co. / Chadron Neb.” Bold and well contrasted photo measures 7” x 4.25” on a 10” x 7” album mat, the verso of which contains another 7” x 4.25” photo, one of the last taken by Clarence Moreledge on July 4, 1891, numbered 1589, with his signature in the negative at lower right. Photograph published in ”Eyewitness at Wounded Knee” is identified as ”After the Barbecue” at the Pine Ridge Agency. Some buckling and staining to mat. Photos remain very good to near fine. Sold for $1,250.
Two original albumen prints from 1891, taken by Northwestern Photo Co. of Chadron, Nebraska, whose company is well known for documenting the aftermath of the Wounded Knee massacre. At least one of the photos was taken by photographer Clarence Moreledge at the Pine Ridge Agency, showing Lieutenant John J. Pershing posing with his Indian Scouts in front of a tipi. Photograph reads in the negative, ”Troop ‘B’ Ogallalas Indian scouts”. The other possibly unpublished photo shows U.S. cavalry troops formed in a semi-circle at or near Pine Ridge, numbered 122 in pencil on the mat, likely taken by photographer George Trager. Photos measure 7” x 4.25”, affixed to an album mat measuring 10” x 7”. Some buckling and staining to mat. Photos are a bit light, but overall in very good condition. Sold for $1,250.
