![Twenty-one Crow students [version 1], c.1891](/sites/default/files/styles/views_image/public/image-photo/NAA_74362.jpg?itok=EsY3lA1a "Twenty-one Crow students [version 1], c.1891")
Portrait of twenty-one students-eleven male and ten female-posed on the steps outside a brick building, probably on the school grounds. The caption on the Cumberland County Historical Society's copy of the image identifies them as "Crows from the Crow Agency, Montana, who entered the Carlisle Indian School in 1890."
Previous cataloging for this image interprets part of the caption scratched on the plate as giving a date of 1897.

![George Conner and William Johnson [?], c.1891](/sites/default/files/styles/views_image/public/image-photo/NAA_73610.jpg?itok=Ne1DHSt9 "George Conner and William Johnson [?], c.1891")
Studio portrait of George Conner (seated at right) and William Johnson [?] (probably standing at left). Both are wearing school uniforms.
Note: Previous cataloging interpreted the handwritten caption as "[?] Connor and W. Johnson." The identification of these as George Conner (who was 19 years old on arrival in 1890) and William Johnson (for whom no age was given when he arrived in 1890) is preliminary.
