Lot Description

Lot of 2, both on similar boudoir card mounts lacking a photographer's imprint. One shows eight officers and one man in civilian dress, with one of the officers wearing a 10th US Cavalry kepi and another a 24th US Infantry kepi -- both "Buffalo Soldier" units assigned to San Carlos ca 1888-1892 to deal with the Apaches (and both of which had members recognized for bravery in the Wham Paymaster robbery of 1889, just outside San Carlos). The other view shows about ten African American soldiers on horseback, presumably soldiers of the 10th US Cavalry, as well as a white officer, a white civilian, at least one Apache, and pack animals. In the background are seven Sibley tents and one permanent structure.

This photograph descended in the family of William Wallace Chapel (1839-1922), who operated a trading post and served as postmaster at San Carlos, Gila County, Arizona Territory, ca 1886-1890.
