- DAKOTA WAR OF 1862 PHOTOGRAPHY
DAKOTA WAR OF 1862 PHOTOGRAPHY GROUPA historically significant group of carte-de-visite depicting figures from the Outbreak of 1862 and one stereo viewer card. The Indian Massacre of 1862 stemmed from the frontier extending into Minnesota. After broken treaties and a failure to provide the food promised to the indigenous peoples the Sioux attacked, resulting in the death of almost 500 settlers, volunteers, and soldiers. The Civil War slowed the response but Colonel Henry Hastings Sibley ultimately defeated Little Crow at the Battle of Wood Lake. In a period of less than six weeks trials were held for the combatants, some lasting only five minutes, and resulting in 303 of 392 prisoners being given a death sentence. After reviewing the convictions Abraham Lincoln decided that only 39 should be hanged with one more person being given a last minute reprieve. It was later found that two of those hanged were victims of mistaken identity and history has questioned President Lincoln putting the Native Americans to death when not a single Confederate soldier was punished in kind for their role in the deaths of so many Union soldiers. The mass hanging of 38 Dakota Sioux remains the largest mass hanging in American History. These cards document the Chippewa Chief Neh-Bah-Quah-Om (Big Dog), Chief Qui-Wi-Sain-Shish (Bad Boy), and Chief Wah Bo Jeeg (White Fisher) and The Sioux Chief Ta-Tanka-Nazin (Standing Buffalo), Chief Little Crow, and Te-Na-Se-Pa (A Sioux Dandy). The three Sioux warriors were executed for their part in the uprising. Each of these was produced by J. F. Whitney, Whitney's Gallery of St. Paul Minnesota and marked as such. The stereoview card is a photo card showing a street scene by Upton's Views and shows the studio in the foreground. Carte-de-visite approx. 2-3/8" L x 4" H, stereopticon card approx. 7" L x 3-3/8" H. See images for details. This item can be shipped in-house.

Birger Sandzén (Swedish, 1871-1954)
Sven Birger Sandzén, born 5 February 1871 in Blidsberg, Sweden, was an accomplished landscape artist and art educator. At the age of ten, Sandzén joined the Skara Cathedral School to study art. Upon graduating in 1890, he studied for a short period at the University of Lund before moving to Stockholm. In 1894, he moved to Paris to complete his painting studies, where he studied under Edmond Aman-Jean. Later that year, he moved to Lindsborg, Kansas to teach at Bethany College, where he remained faculty for fifty-two years. In 1940, Sandzén was recognized by the Swedish Government for his contributions to cultural relations between the U.S. and Sweden, awarding him both the Order of Vasa and the Order of the North Star. He also received honorary doctorates from the Midland Lutheran College, the University of Nebraska, and Kansas State University. Sandzén found inspiration in the Smoky Hill River Valley of central Kansas, and many of his paintings feature landscapes of the American Southwest. Though oil was his most used medium, Sandzén’s works also include prints and watercolors. He died 22 June 1954 at the age of 83 in Lindsborg, Kansas. Many of his works reside at the Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery at Bethany College, established in 1957.
