Silver gelatin print mounted on board, with title and imprint at lower left of negative: “C.C. McBride, Sturgis, S.D.” Immaculate condition. In the autumn of 1906, a group of about 150 Utes from the White River Reservation decided to visit the Oglala Lakota at Pine Ridge, S.D. Heading diagonally northeast across Wyoming, their innocent jaunt caused a panic among ranchers in the state, and the Army was called out. Reports of the “Ute breakout” were front page news across the U.S. for several weeks. The Utes managed to evade their pursuers all the way to Rapid City, before they were convinced to accompany an army detachment to Fort Meade about 30 miles to the north. There they spent the winter, receiving rations. McBride’s studio was in nearby Sturgis. It was 1908 before the Utes agreed to return to White River. Both men seen here are wearing headdresses of golden eagle feathers. Andrew Frank leans upon a Winchester carbine. Chief Appah’s leather shirt is heavily fringed with locks of human hair. A brass telescope is in his left hand.<I><BR><BR>Dimensions: ranging from 3 x 3 inches to 7 x 9 inches<BR></B></I><BR><BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
