6¾? x 11¼? Steel post binder with contemporary semiwraparound enclosure made of thick wood boards, held together with a calf backstrip. 25 thick card leaves, most of which are interleaved with typing paper with a total of 50 albumen photographs glued down, one per page. Photos measure 4 3/8? x 7 5/8? and 39 are captioned in the negative, though a few are hard to read. Album very good: moderate wear, leaves a bit wavy; photos generally near fine or better. This is an album of large photographs depicting the Sioux at the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation (RSIR, also known as the ?Rosebud Agency?) in South Dakota. The album also features some of the early work of an important photographer who dedicated his life to documenting the Rosebud Sioux, John Alvin Anderson. According to an article by Claes H. Jacobson, Anderson emigrated from Sweden at the age of one in 1870, and his family eventually settled, in 1883, in Sparks, Nebraska, close to the border of South Dakota and near RSIR. (?John Anderson: A Swedish Immigrant and Pioneer Photographer among the Rosebud Sioux Indians? (Swedish-American Historical Quarterly, v. 60, no. 2: Swedish-American Historical Society (April 2009)). John became a carpenter as a teenager and purchased his first camera in the mid-1880s. Per Jacobson, ?At this time . . . John became an apprentice to [a local photographer]. Unfortunately, no exact date has been found to confirm exactly when John took his first photographs, but it was probably around 1885.? Anderson also started collecting Lakota artifacts around this time and ultimately spent forty-five years on the reservation. Over that period Anderson built a collection that led to his becoming a museum curator for its exhibition, though he sold the collection to the BIA in 1938. Per Jacobsen, Anderson's ?interest in photography on Rosebud Reservation was an important part of his life . . . there he met daily with tribal members in the store, learned to speak the Lakota language, became close friends with many of them, and developed opportunities to photograph them in his small studio or in outdoor settings. His photographs, taken between the mid-1880s and the late 1920s show not only the Sioux of the past but also what he witnessed of their daily activities in the transitional years.? Anderson ultimately issued two photobooks on the Sioux, 1896's ?Among the Sioux,? and ?Sioux Memory Gems,? published in 1929 and including poems from Anderson's wife, Myrtle. With a few exceptions, all of the photos here depict Sioux and/or their living conditions. Per Jacobsen, Anderson recorded visiting Rosebud in May and June 1889 when the Sioux Land Commission visited for a ?Great Council? with General George Crook. Crook then hired Anderson to take photos of Sioux for $20, thereby establishing him as a professional photographer. The few dated photos here show either 1889 or 1893. Jacobson pointed out that Anderson's existing notebooks mention that he was hanging around the reservation's corral and witnessed a slaughter of cattle in June 1889 and that in July he witnessed ?Indians . . . dancing all day in spite of the hot weather,? allowing for the inference that some of the undated dancing and allotment photos mentioned below were taken as early as 1889. According to Jacobson, ?The Rosebud Sioux, or Sicangu Lakota Oyate (Burnt Thigh People), or Brule Sioux, as they are also known, are part of the larger Teton Sioux group who once lived as nomads and hunters on the prairies of central North America from about the 1750s until the mid-nineteenth century . . . by the beginning of the 1880s, the buffalo had been virtually wiped out. The last buffalo hunt of the Sioux took place in 1882 and thereafter a lifestyle and livelihood disappeared. As part of peace treaties between the Sioux and the United States government, the Sioux were forced onto a number of reservations, including the one at Rosebud in south central South Dakota, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs became respon.…

Description de la boutique
You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.…
