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.
