The new state of Minnesota was home to thousands of American Indians in 1862, many of whom were disenchanted with the government's promise for annuities. In August of that year, a number of the Dakota were starving; on the 18th, Indians at the Lower Agency attacked the white settlers there. Over the next few weeks hundreds of whites were killed, until the uprising was finally put down by Federal troops under the command of Henry Sibley. Whitney photographed a number of the Native American principals involved with the uprising.
Toning to Hoard and Tenney view, some corner wear to mount. Whitney portrait of Sparrow Hawk, very rich tonality, corner wear to mount. Whitney view of people escaping massacre, toning, scattered spotting and few light stains, crease at center of mount with white strip of thicker paper/cardstock applied on verso by previous owner, some slight surface loss to mount verso, corner wear to mount. Upton stereoview with even toning, some staining along margins of mount, corner wear to mount.Condition
