"This rare collection of photographs was lost for almost 100 years. These photographs, taken by William Stinson Soule, a young Civil War veteran, at Fort Sill between 1869 and 1874 are published here for the first time. Soule's important photographs include many different tribes: Kiowas, Apaches, Kiowa-Apaches, Cheyenne, Wichitas, Caddos, Arapahoes, and Comanches. Included among the photographs are such Chiefs and warriors as Satanta, Setank, Kicking Bird, Big Tree, Lone Wolf, Stumbling Bear, Little Raven, Mow-way, and many others. The accompanying text gives a biography of Soule; offers cultural insight into the various tribes photographed; and describes each photograph and gives a biography of each Indian photographed"--Bookseller's description.
