View of the farmhouse on the school grounds.

View looking north of what is presumably the entire student body assembled in neat rows on the central campus. Groups of spectators, probably teachers and staff, are standing or sitting around the nearby buildings. 

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 the school band posed in front of the band stand. 

The Cumberland County Historical Society identifies the band leader as Dennison Wheelock. 

Posed picture of the interior of the gymnasium with male students. 

This image appears in United States Indian School Carlisle, Penna (Carlisle, PA: The School, [1895?]), p. 32.

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 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.

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. 

See Cumberland County Historical Society image PA-CH1-084d (in Related Images) for a smaller group photo of the team and more information about those students who may be included.

Studio portrait of Angelina Chippewa.

Group portrait of eleven male students wearing baseball uniforms with "Carlisle Indians" on the front, posed with baseball equipment outside the entrace to the gymnasium. 

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. 

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

Caption: THE CARPENTER SHOP.

One of the most useful and popular trades taught is that of carpentering. The Master Carpenter with his Indian boys is able to undertake any job of building required at the School.

View of the YMCA Building. 

Studio portrait of eleven male students, three Native American men, and one white man. The caption identifies them as from the Osage nation. 

A researcher gave the Cumberland County Historical Society partial identifications for the sitters in this photo. According to this information, back row, left to right: Unidentified, Unidentified, Ben Harrison, Elias Stanton, Amos Osage, and Harry Kohpay; middle row, left to right: Black Dog, Fred Penn, Edgar McCarthy, William Connor, Peter Big Heart, and Unidentified; bottom row, left to right: Ernest Roe, Richard Rusk, and George Conner. 

Studio portrait of Black Dog, an Osage chief. 

Studio portrait of Black Dog, an Osage chief, with two unidentified male students. 

Identification of Black Dog is based on comparison with other images. No caption information is available. Student newspapers reported that Black Dog visited the school for commenencement in March 1895, therefore this image has been assigned that date. 

Portrait of a group of unidentified male and female students, dressed formally, posed in front the brick archway of the gymnasium building. 

Previous cataloging indicates the students are from the Cherokee nation and provides a date of March 1895. 

Studio portrait of Johnson Adams.

A note on the back of the photo provides a date of March 18, 1895 and identifies the photographer as John H. Andrews, Carlisle. 

Studio portrait of Johnson Adams. 

Note: This image is a cropped version of CCHS 13-31-01. That image has a date of March 18, 1895 provided on the reverse and the photographer is identified as John H. Andrews. 

Studio portrait of Wacheka High Dog posed with several dolls. 

The caption dates this to May 1895.

Studio portrait of Lydia A. Clute. 

Studio portrait of Simon Beard and Reuben Shoulder.

Studio portrait of Melinda Thomas and Lily Schanandore.

Studio portrait of Lillian A. Schanandore and Dollie Wheelock, both probably wearing school uniforms.

Note: Lillian A. Schanandore is probably the student known as Lillian Archiquette, who married John Schanandore and so was also known as Lillian A. Schanandore. However, a student named Lily Schanandore also attended the school. Both Lillian and Lily were there at the same time as Dollie Wheelock so it could be either one of them.

Studio portrait of Edward Hensley and Myron Moses (standing), one wearing a school uniform.
