Studio portrait of a visiting chief with a male student.

Previous cataloging interpreted the name of the student as something like Van Moore. There are no records for a student by that name. 

Photograph of a photograph of Sun Chief (La-Roo-Chuk-A-La-Shur). The handwritten caption indicates he is from the Pawnee nation. 

Photographer J.N. Choate took a photograph of this image, presumably so that he could reproduce it and sell it himself. He may have taken the original, but he might not have. No other copies of this image have yet been found among the Carlisle-related images so it's possible Sun Chief was not a visitor to the school and has no connection to the school. 

Studio portrait of White Wolf, a Comanche chief.

The school newspaper records a visit to the school by the chief in 1885.

Studio portrait of five Arapho chiefs with their interpeter. 

Based on comparison with other photographs, the Cumberland County Historical Society has identifeid these chiefs as: Iron Chief (back row left), Sharp Nose (back row right), Black Coal (front row center), and Little Wolf (front row right). The interpreter and the chief at left in the front row are still unidentified.

The handwritten note on the reverse side reads: After

View of students in uniforms seated at desks in a classroom with a female teacher in the front of the room. One male student is standing at the blackboard next to a drawing of a horse. 

Previous cataloging indicates the caption written on this image identifies this as Miss Booth's classroom. School records indicate Vicentine Booth taught at the school between 1881 and 1889.

View of the Dining Hall building. The caption identifies it as the "New Dining Hall." This building was built to replace the original building used as the dining hall when the school opened in 1879. 

Students lined up along the road in front of the dining hall, as if in a parade. There are three wagons with horses, students in uniform, including some with instruments. There are two people leading the group, one in full feather headdress. 

View of the Small Boys' Quarters on the school grounds.

Interior of the school chapel. The ivy decorations may indicate this photograph was taken around the holidays. 

View of the chapel with added bell tower over front door but before additions were put on the sides. Three male students, one in uniform, are posed in front of the building. 

The girls' quarters with female students on the porches, with the bandstand at right and the hospital building visible between them. 

A view of students on the school grounds, some are in uniform, some are not. The male students are in the foreground, female students are in the distance. Some of the male students are standing, some are lying on the ground. 

The Cumberland County Historical Society has three copies of this image: PA-CH1-082a, BS-CH-053, and 12-07-02G. One copy (PA-CH1-082a) has the caption Campus After School.

Studio portrait of teacher Alice M. Seabrook.

Studio portrait of a visitor to the school, presumably a chief. He is identified on the reverse as Roan Horse from the Apache nation. 

The Cumberland County Historical Society's version of this image identifies him as Ai-sia-tiw-me or Comanche John. 

Note: A researcher has indicated that Comanche John was actually Comanche, but that he had run away to Mescalero Apache in 1879.

Photograph of a photograph (tacked to a wooden surface) of students on parade on the school grounds. It is a large group of male students, in a formation of rows, some holding flags, with the band in front, and a student holding an American flag in the lead. Visible in the background are the Hospital, the Disciplinarian's Quarters, and the Small Boys' Quarters. 

There are currently no known prints of this photograph. 

Studio portrait of two men, seated in the center, wearing hats and white scarves, probably visitors, with five male students (one wearing a uniform), and a young girl. 

Formation of students on the northeastern end of the school grounds, near the enclosing fence with a farm in the distance. They are all male students in uniform, in rows with the band in the front. The location seems to be roughly where the athletic field was later laid out, to the east of the industrial workshops.
