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 Cumberland County Historical Society has two copies of this image: PA-CH2-027 and 10-A-06. They identify Commissioner Morgan as being seated in the second row, fifth from the left. 

Portrait of male and female students posed on the steps of a building on the school grounds, with a white man standing at left. The caption on the Cumberland County Historical Society copy of this image states that they are "Piegan from Blackfeet Agency, Montana, entered Carlisle in November 1889 and March 1890." Previous cataloging for this copy interprets the caption as saying that these students arrived in November 1889 and that the date for this image is March 1890.

The written caption says: "Andrew Brohme, an Apache Indian, 21 years old, learning to be a carpenter at the Indian School at Carlisle, Penn. June 10, 1890." 

It seems almost certain that this is student Matthew Broom, a member of the Apache Nation, who was at the school at this time and who would have been the right age, and whose student file says he was training in carpentry.
