1860CAT01491860. A striking photograph featured on page 89 of David Deitcher's Dear Friends: Photographs of Men Together 1840-1918. "Romantic friendship between American men acquired a different kind of social prestige and meaning within the Civil War. No sooner did young recruits leave the shelter and ties of home and family than they were thrust into mutual dependence care and collective terror of being comrades in arms. Intimate ties were tacitly encouraged as a result of the soldier's need to steel himself for battle to prepare emotionally for the prospect of injury and death and for having to inflict such suffering to others." - Deitcher p. 87. A remarkable image of two young soldiers holding hands. It shows the vulnerability and intimacy described by Deitcher. Provenance: From the collection of gay rights activist and Washington D.C. Councilman Jim Graham. unknown books

1920List419Montana 1920. Sixty-three postcards measuring 4 x 6 inches mixed media images some with graphite and watercolor over photographic exposures. Typewritten captions to versos. Christian F. Schuster was a lumber man boy scout and amateur archaeologist from Holyoke Massachusetts who spent a series of seventeen summers living with the Piegan Blackfeet beginning in 1923. He was given the name Aainiakoi Plitaa or Morning Eagle by the Piegan chief Curly Bear in an adoption ceremony. The collection here documents his adoption by the Piegan tribe. Composed of sixty-three photographs is one of the most striking visual records we have encountered of American Indian life from this period due to the sympathetic eye of the photographer and visually arresting hybrid technique of watercolor pencil and photographic exposure at work in the images. <br /> <br /> We cannot confirm the identity of the artist further but it is possible that it was Lone Wolf or Hart Merriam Schultz the son of James Willard Schultz who was a prolific artist and illustrator during this period. Lone Wolf would later operate a guest house called the Lone Wolf Guest Ranch and Club and we have found another account of a white adoptee purchasing some artwork from Lone Wolf in the early 1930s. The hybrid technique at work here was also used by De Lancey Gill the prominent BAE photographer taught to him by William Henry Holmes. Schuster himself took at least some of the photographs as noted in the captions. <br /> <br /> The images show life among the Blackfeet several decades after the last buffalo hunts had failed in 1882 in a period when this and government policy had made reservation life difficult. Akipuni or James Willard Schultz is featured in several of the images along with Curly Bear Stabs-by-Mistake Red-Boy who Schuster would later advocate for following a wrongful conviction and many others. The images show candid scenes of Piegan life during the period in many aspects: religious<br /> ceremonies hunting singing etc. The transition to reservation life is apparent in both the scenes and the captioning with the Piegan leading a semi-nomadic life limited by the absence of the buffalo and indifferent government policy. Schuster's role as an advocate is on display with one caption reading "My tepee at the flatheads/ they had the poles all set up / the big council was a success / we hired a lawyer / killed the stealing of timber." Another narrates a trip to visit another tribe possibly Crow: "We were on making plans / of our visit to the old time / enemies who lived beyond / the backbones Rocky Mts. We would talk at the great council / about the wrongs to the Indian. We rolled many of our belongings in <br /> bundles and threw them out. We joined the paraders in this song. WE WERE STRIPPED!"<br /> <br /> Schuster's visits to the Blackfeet were reciprocated with a number of Blackfeet visiting Schuster in his Western Massachusetts home and setting up a camp on the banks of the Connecticut River. He would eventually amass a collection of several thousand artifacts which he eventually sold to the Museum of the American Indian. The circumstances of Schuster's adoption are murky. It is possible that it was done as part of a contest as we found record of the Blackfoot author and adoptee James Willard Schultz or Apikuni sponsoring adoption contests through the magazine American Boy. We find records of some other adoption ceremonies during the period. Schuster would later do advocacy work on behalf of the Blackfeet assisting in the eventual pardon of a wrongly-convicted young man named Red-Boy or Peter Stabs-by-Mistake in the 1920s. Later Schuster was also <br /> adopted by the Apinakwi Pits tribe. <br /> <br /> Overall a moving and visually striking account of Piegan life in the 1920s uncommon in its insight and exceptional in its visual appeal. Postcards are well preserved in very good to excellent condition with some light normal wear and some tanning to versos. <br /> <br /> Offered in collaboration with Daniel / Oliver Gallery. unknown books

19091557Various locations in the West 1909. Very good. Forty-seven leaves containing forty-one photographs 4 x 6 inches supplemented by postcards and a few newspaper clippings. Oblong octavo album. Original leather cover gilt black paper leaves. Spine perished but holding covers worn. Some leaves intentionally trimmed on fore edge. Two photos loose and laid in. Contents clean and fresh. An interesting album documenting a train trip to the Western United States taken by several businessmen from Chicago on a tour to study irrigation investments in Colorado Idaho and Wyoming. The album starts out with panels from the trip brochure pasted onto the first two leaves followed by newspaper clippings documenting the trip as well as a map of the train routes in the west and a sheet of stationery signed by all the members of the party. The trip was organized by Trowbridge & Niver a municipal bond company based in Chicago and one Denver newspaper headline notes "Half-Billion Dollars Represented in Party. Many are already backing projects here and are making trip to investigate." Each photograph is captioned with a typed label documenting stops along the route starting with Fort Morgan Colorado. There are several images of Eldorado Springs including the swimming pool and a large building whose roof says "Moving Pictures" which we presume to be an early movie theatre. There are many group shots of the "Buffalo Party" along the way all looking quite dapper in caps and touring coats out to spend their millions. One image shows the group on a tour by buggy captioned "Our party inspecting irrigated orchards at Palisade Colorado." There are three photographs of Salt Lake City followed by a series in Idaho which includes a charming photo of several women laughing captioned "Shoshone Indians at Pocatello Idaho." There is a series taken along the Snake River in Idaho and Oregon followed by several images taken in Boise. This cataloguer's favorite is a pair of photos taken at the local pool showing the men in their swimsuits: "Buffalonians in the Natatorium Boise." The final four photos depict the group at stops in Wyoming. Throughout the compiler has used postcards to set the scenery for the trip using the photographs to capture the group itself on tour. Altogether a wonderful album documenting a business trip yet assembled like a family vacation album or young woman's scrapbook. The format speaks to the novelty of such a trip even for businessmen in the early years of the 20th century. unknown books
