Stereoview from Lieutenant George M. Wheeler's
Expedition of 1873. [Apaches as they Appear on the Warpath, Arizona]
Part of the series "Geographical Explorations and Surveys West of the
100th Meridian" this being No. 64. Stereoview is on yellow mount with
black lettering. The card measures 7" x 4" with the number
"64" written in the image and on the text. From an “Indian Series”
likely after the Expedition. Other title for this same image is (Apache
Indians, as they appear ready for the war-path). Lieutenant George M. Wheeler's
surveys ran from 1869-1879, Timothy H. O'Sullivan joining the expedition in
1871 as a photographer. Wheeler captioned O'Sullivan's photographs providing
geological, geographical and cultural information, hoping to emphasize that the
West was a hospitable place for settlers. Beautiful clean card. Right image is
a bit blurry
