ITEM DESCRIPTION

||||||||||||
Marvelous image of the leader of the Pueblo Villages. He carries two canes here. One was presented to his tribe by the original Spanish Governor in the days of their rule. The other was presented by Abraham Lincoln in promise of the keeping of the peace. Of course, most of these pledges were broken. Signed by the photographer on the front in ink, Binkley M.U., as well as his initials ACB on the verso, plus handwritten notes as well. Amazing heavy stock and the best quality you will see. Original paper caption and stamped "Indian Defense Association of Central and Northern California". EX-MT. 8x10".
