Lot Description
[NATIVE AMERICANS]. FLANDERS, D.P., photographer. Stereoview of Eskiminzin and band at Camp Grant. Arizona: [1874].
6 3/8 x 3 1/8 in. stereoview on cardstock mount (toning, minor corner creasing, and some areas of soiling/discoloration to prints; wear and minor creasing to mount edges and corners). Flanders' "Trip Through Arizona" imprint on verso, along with pencil inscription to left reading, "Soldiers and Eskiminzin after capture & return to San Carlos." Armed soldiers of the US 5th Cavalry stand in a row behind a group of Apache subjects, pictured sitting and reclining on the ground in front of the guard house. Captain Gordon is also featured in the view.
This view, number 80 in Flanders' series, was probably taken in the fall of 1874, and is one of a collection of images that documents the beginnings of General George Crook's campaign against Apache insurgents. Eskiminzin's band had surrendered at Camp Grant only months earlier, in April 1874.
