Wonderful mounted photograph, titled "Inside Kiowa Tepee." Reverse has purple stamp, "H.P. Robinson, Fort Sill, O.T." Photograph shows seven Native Americans inside of a tepee. The man in the center is holding a mint Trapdoor Springfield Carbine Model 1873 (45-70), which was standard military issue from 1873 to 1895. According to Mautz, HP Robinson was active at Ft. Sill in 1895, photographing Arapaho and Comanche in the field and in his studio. 4.5 x 7.5" photo on 5 x 8" mount. There appears to be faint writing along the top of the photograph, but it is illegible. Some soiling. Fort Sill was established in 1869 by General Sheridan as he led campaigns into Indian Territory to stop tribes from raiding border settlements in Texas and Kansas. Famous frontier scouts such as Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickok, Ben Clark and Jack Stilwell all participated in Sheridan's winter campaign. In 1874, the Red River War was waged against the Comanches, Kiowas and Southern Cheyennes by the US Army. In 1894, Geronimo and 341 other Chiricahua Apache prisoners of war were brought to Fort Sill. In 1909, Geronimo tried to escape and was caught the next day. He died of pneumonia and was buried at Ft. Sill.
