Description
COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL 19TH C NATIVE AMERICAN / FORT SILL PHOTOGRAPHS - (10) Original Mounted Silver Bromide or Albumen Cabinet Photos, taken circa 1870-1895 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma of Apache and Arapaho tribal members, traders and native winter quarters, including a formal portrait of Chief Powder Face and his wife taken by Mrs. M.B. Daniels in 1869, along with another by her marked in period handwriting on back "Geronimoes (sic) two daughters Niesta and Parnusea". No other image is marked or identified in any way, but seem to date from the time of the Medicine Lodge Treaty of Oct 1867 or the Feb 1869 cessation of hostilities. They were found tacked in the trunk of Lt. Col. A. A. King, U. S. Army, 8th Cavalry, along with leather postcards dated 1905, addressed to him at Fort Sill. He was stationed there from 1901-1909. The images range in size from true cabinet photos to 5" x 8" on larger mounts. All are damaged but include restored enlargements. Upon retirement, King was Dept Commander, Department of Texas, U. S. W. V. Born in Steamboat Rock, LA. Enlisted in 1896 Troop "I" 1st U. S. Cavalry, and served in Cuba as 1st Sergeant. Commissioned 2nd Lieutenant 7th Cavalry, Oct. 1, 1899; 1st Lieutenant 8th Cavalry, Feb. 2, 1901; Capt. 10th Cavalry, July 7, 1909; Major 19th Cavalry. April 15,1917; Lieut-Colonel, July 1, 1920; Retired Oct. 31. 1931. Elected Department Commander at Sweetwater. He must have taken these as souvenirs of an earlier, more dangerous time at Fort Sill.
