This image appears in United States Indian School Carlisle, Penna (Carlisle, PA: The School, [1895?]), p. 12. No prints of this image have yet been located. 

Because no prints or negatives of this image have yet been found, we believe this photograph was probably taken by student photographer John Leslie.

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.

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. 

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.

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

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.

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. 

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. 

View of the YMCA Building around 1895.

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.
