Lot Description
[NATIVE AMERICANS]. A picture of the Indian Cut Throats & Scalpers. St. Augustine, FL.
6 1/8 x 3 in. stereoview on cardstock mount (vertical crease through print and mount, just right of center). Image number and caption along with series title printed on mount recto: "No. 24. Florida Views. A Picture of the Indian Cut Throats & Scalpers." Verso bears printed text and pictorial advertisement for subscriptions to Professor C.J. Maynard's bi-monthly publication, the Naturalist in Florida.
This view captures a large group of Apaches pictured within the walls of what is almost certainly Fort Marion (now Castillo de San Marcos), in St. Augustine, Florida. They are likely being held as prisoners of war by the United States Government.
