- Lot Description
Ca 1890 silver gelatin print on a boudoir card mount (5 x 8 in.), printed in the lower margin: "Quanah Parker/ The Great Comanche Chief who showed his love for the white man and the white man's ways by welcoming the opening of the Oklahoma lands in 1901, and teaching his people that the way of the white man is good." Credit to Collins of Lawton, O.T., though this image is usually attributed to Irwin & Mankins.
Quanah Parker (ca 1845-1911) was the son of Peta Nocona, a Comanche chief, and Cynthia Ann Parker, the daughter of a settler who was captured in 1836 when she was nine years old. She grew up happily in the Comanche culture until she was abducted back into white civilization where she lived unhappily and finally died. Quanah fought against the westward pressures caused by the settlers but ultimately changed his opinion and supported white ways. In 1886 he was appointed a judge of the Court of Indian Affairs. He ultimately lost this position in 1898 due to factionalism within the tribe and white pressures against his polygamy. He had seven wives and seven children.
