A collection of six cabinet card photographs of Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux prisoners following the Battle of the Little Bighorn, including Sitting Bull, Steps (including two duplicates), and One Bull, photographed by William R. Cross for Bailey, Dix and Mead, as well as a copy of a cabinet card photograph of Chief Gall, a Hunkpapa Sioux of Sitting Bull's band, originally photographed by George W. Scott. Following the Battle of the Little Big Horn, the Hunkpapa Lakota led by Sitting Bull and Chief Gall fled to Canada to evade U.S. military pursuit; after several years, they eventually surrendered and were relocated to Fort Randall, near the Standing Rock reservation in present-day South Dakota, where they were held before being relocated to the reservation at Fort Yates. The capture of Sitting Bull caused a great deal of excitement, during which Joshua Bradford Bailey, Dr. George P. Dix, and John L. Mead, local civilians who lived close to Fort Randall, hoped to make a quick profit by commissioning local photographer William Cross to take a series of twenty-four photographs of the prisoners and their life at Fort Randall. These "could be sold to local inhabitants, potential settlers from the East, or visitors who passed through on the newly completed railroad line. After this project, Bailey, Dix & Mead never published another photograph" (Goodyear). The portrait of Chief Gall, Sitting Bull's trusted lieutenant, was originally photographed by George Scott, who made his way west as a member of the U.S. Signal Corps stationed in Deadwood, South Dakota. He left the Army in 1883 and worked as a photographer until 1887, when he rejoined the Signal Corps and continued his photographic work from Fort Yates, where the present image was taken, as well as from Bismark and Yankton. In 1894 he opened the first photographic studio in Lander, Wyoming. The photographs in this collection are as follows: 1) "Tatonkaiyotonka, Sitting Bull. The above is a true Photo and Autograph of 'Sitting Bull,' the Sioux Chief at the Custer Massacre." on verso: "No. 1 Sitting Bull, and True Autograph." 2) "No. 3. Steps." (three copies) 3) "No. 7. One Bull." 4) "641. Gall. Leader at the Custer Massacre. The Great Orator of the Sioux Nation." All of Bailey Dix, and Mead's photographs of the Lakota leaders are rare, and Mead's image of Chief Gall even moreso. OCLC locates a full set of the Bailey, Dix & Mead series only at the University of South Dakota, and copies of One Bull, Sitting Bull, and Chief Gall at the University of Michigan. The Nebraska State Historical Society also holds a full set of the Bailey, Dix & Mead cabinet cards.
