studio portrait of the Comanche chief, Quanah Parker, with Irwin & Mankin's Chickasha and Duncan, I.T. imprint below image.

Quanah Parker (ca. 1845-1911) was the son of Peta Nocona, a Comanche chief, and Cynthia Ann Parker, the daughter of a settler who was captured in 1836 when she was nine years old. She grew up happily in the Comanche culture until she was abducted back into white civilization where she lived unhappily and finally died. Quanah fought against the westward pressures caused by the settlers but ultimately changed his opinion and supported white ways. In 1886 he was appointed a judge of the Court of Indian Affairs. He ultimately lost this position in 1898 due to factionalism within the tribe and white pressures against his polygamy. He had seven wives and seven children. 

Condition: Bumped corners; remnants of adhesive on back of mount.
