This picture represents former Carlisle pupils who, having received preliminary training in the School hospital, and having completed heir training in Philadelphia, New Haven and Hartford nurse schools, are now profitably employed in independent practice in the cities named. In this direction our Indian girls have been especially successful.

Studio portrait of Neal Monoahsy [?] wearing school uniform. 

Note: The caption for this photograph appears to be "Neil Mon." There is no student by that name. We believe this is Neal Monoahsy. 

Studio portrait of Angelina Chippewa.

Studio portrait of six young students. Based on their clothing, they all would appear to be girls but some of the faces appear to be male. No further information is available. 

Portrait of a large group of male and female students with some female teachers posed next to the south side of the Administration Building. 

The name written on the reverse (Hattie Norman) is not a student, so presumably it was the name of the Carlisle resident who owned the photograph. 

Group portrait of sixteen male students from the 1895 football team. 

In his 1951 book, Fabulous Redmen, John Steckbeck identifies the sitters as: top row (l to r), Lone Wolf, McFarland, Smith, H. Pierce, and Nori; middle row (l to r), Redwater, Cayou, Metoxen, B. Pierce, Seneca and Printup; bottom row (l to r), Unidentified, Wheelock, Hudson, Miller, and Unidentified. Interestingly, some of these names do not appear on Steckbeck's roster for the 1895 team in the same book. The CCHS print of the image does not appear to be labeled so it is not clear what Steckbeck's identification is based on, presumably another copy of the image. 

See Cumberland County Historical Society image PA-CH3-093 (in Related Images) for a larger group of the same team.

This image also appears in United States Indian School Carlisle, Penna (Carlisle, PA: The School, [1895?]), p. 40.

This image was probably originally taken by student photographer John Leslie, who is credited with many of the images in the pamphlet. 

Group portrait of twelve male students, some wearing uniforms with "Carlisle," "Indians," or "Y.A." on them, posed with baseball equipment.

This is probably one of the informal baseball teams organized to play other school teams. 

Group portrait of twenty-six male students and one white man, presumably a coach or advisor--the 1895 football team.
