Description
For your kind consideration I have been blessed to acquire exceedingly rare (original) 19th century glass plate negatives of Old Western Cowboys, Indians, Performers and Gun Slingers in my present listings. These photographs were taken by the personal photographer for William Buffalo Bill Cody and William Frank “Doc” Carver. This exceedingly rare 5 x 7 inch glass negative shows two young Brule Sioux Native American girls in fashionable western clothing who performed under duress in Carver's Wild West shows.
The Brule Sioux accused Carver of kidnapping members of the tribe and keeping them captive for the show. Carver had them returned to their reservation.
*Please take a moment to examine my other negatives currently listed from this historic find.
William Frank Doc Carver (May 7, 1851 – August 31, 1927) was a late 19th-century sharpshooter and the creator of a popular diving horse attraction. There is a great deal of information found on this iconic old West Suprerstar.
