Studio portrait of Eustace Esapoyhet, Frank Everett, and two unidentified young men. 

Studio portrait of Rose Aubrey and Alice Aubrey.

Handwritten caption along the side of the image probably reads: Rose and Alice Aubrey.

Note: Rose was one year younger than Alice, and so is probably the girl on the left. 

Studio portrait of Joseph Ezhuna. 

Studio portrait of Josiah Archiquette wearing school uniform. 

Note: This sitter in this image was previously identified as Joshua Archiquette. However, there is no student by that name in the school records. Therefore, we now believe this to be Josiah Archiquette. 

Studio portrait of Mary Johnson.

Note: There are two students named Mary Johnson. This is probably the Mary Johnson from the Stockbridge nation who arrived in 1888 when she was 15 years old and departed in 1892. The other Mary Johnson was from the Onondaga nation, arrived in November 1883 and departed in June 1884. No age was given for her.  

Studio portrait of Susan Gibson. 

Studio portrait of Edward Davis wearing school uniform.

Studio portrait of fifteen unidentified male students and seven unidentified female students with one white woman. Previous cataloging identifies this group as "Miss Adams' Class." 

There are no records for a teacher named Miss Adams. This is probably teacher Clara C. McAdam who taught between 1890 and 1893. 

The guard house with three figures, probably two men and one boy, standing in front. One man is leaning on what appears to be a tree stump. Poles for electrical wires are visible behind the building. 

Previous cataloging assigns a date of 1897 to this image but it is not clear what this is based on.

This image appears in John N. Choate's Souvenir of the Carlisle Indian School (Carlisle, PA: J. N. Choate, 1902). It was also used to create postcards, see Related Images below.

Second school building with many students on the porches and lined up to enter. 

This building was built in 1888, replacing the original school building.

Portrait of ten unidentified male students and thirteen unidentified female students posed with two white women, presumably teachers, on the steps outside a brick building.

Note: The Cumberland County Historical Society has three copies of this image: PA-CH1-068b, PA-CH3-013a, and BS-CH-054. 

Studio portrait of an unidentified female student. 

Portrait of T.J. Morgan, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, posed with Richard Henry Pratt and the school's teachers on the school grounds. 

The school newspapers reported a visited by Morgan to the school in February of 1890. It's possible that this photograph was taken at that time although the weather does not appear very wintry. 

The people and the way they are posed is almost identical to another sitting of this group in images: PA-CH2-027 and 10-A-06.
