Studio portrait of Robert Taylor.

The handwritten note on the reverse side reads: Carlisle Indian School Football Team 1896.

Although this photo is not captioned, John Steckbeck in Fabulous Redmen (1951) lists the 1896 team as: Frank Cayou, Harrison, Frank Hudson, Jacob Jamison, Delos Lonewolf, David McFarland, Jonas Metoxen, Artie Miller, Dan Morrison, Bemus Pierce, Hawley Pierce, Harrison Printup, Edward Rogers, Isaac Seneca, and Martin Wheelock. Steckbeck frequently identifies only the last names for players, including "Harrison." It seems most likely that this is also a reference to Harrison Printup, although it is possible it is Harrison Marshall.

Note: The Cumberland County Historical Society also has a copy of this image (PA-CH1-084f).

Though previously unidentified, a researcher has offered the following details about this photo. The sitters are all Comanche from Oklahoma. Pictured is Red Elk (seated left), Isatia (sometimes spelled Eshiti or called White Eagle, standing left), Chief Quanah Parker, Harold Parker (student and oldest son of Quanah Parker). The women pictured are Laura Parker (student and daughter of Quanah Parker), and Tonarcy (wife of Quanah Parker). The photo dates from January 1896. This photo is corroborated by the "Visiting Chiefs" article in the January 31, 1896 issue of "The Indian Helper." Also, through additional research, there are articles that appear in newspapers in various states in February 1896 about Quanah Parker, his wife, and others visiting Carlisle and Washington DC.

The Union Reserves were one of the school's many baseball teams. They may have been made up of some of the "small boys."
