TAKING THE CENSUS AT STANDING ROCK, DAKOTAc.
<B>TAKING THE CENSUS AT STANDING ROCK, DAKOTA<BR></B></I><BR>c. 1885<B><BR></B></I> <BR>Albumen print on Imperial board mount, by David F. Barry, Fort Yates, D.T. Corners of mount are chipped and image is somewhat discolored. This is a previously unknown view of the event, slightly different than any of the four views in the David F. Barry Collection, Denver Public Library, Neg. Nos. B-744A, B-744B, B-745 & B-746. The Standing Rock Reservation did not yet exist in 1880, at the time of the national census. By 1885, as the large number of people in this frame suggests, it was important that there be an accurate count of those receiving rations, so that sufficient food and other materials could be supplied. Congress ordered a special census to be taken at Standing Rock, which Barry documented. Agent James McLaughlin is seated in the center, at the left front corner of the light-colored table.<BR><I><BR>Dimension: 8 x 10 inches<BR></B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
