- Lot Description
Lot of 11, comprised of a series of 9 albumen photographs (boudoir card and larger) of Fort Yates and Camp Ruger, Dakota, ca 1880s, including 2 photographs of officers posed with their families at their quarters identified as being from the 12th Infantry and 8th Cavalry, distant views of Fort Yates and Camp Ruger, Sioux Council 1889, Indian Camp, an Indian burial tree, two men standing atop Pyramid Butte, and what appears to be a view of a herd of dead cattle. The lot is accompanied by a silver gelatin cabinet card of Fort Yates on issue day, and a five cent Fort Yates post exchange token stamped by Co. L, 13th Infantry.
Located on the banks of the Missouri River, Fort Yates was established December 23, 1874. It was about 10 miles from the South Dakota line and established as headquarters for the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Agency. George Yates, for whom the fort was named, was captain of the 7th US Cavalry and was killed June 25, 1876 in the Battle of Little Bighorn.
Images have lightened a bit. Some toning, scattered spotting. Light to moderate wear to corners, especially corners of photo showing dead cattle, with some creasing in top right corner that extends into the print.Condition
