Two original albumen prints from 1891, taken by Northwestern Photo Co. of Chadron, Nebraska, whose company is well known for documenting the aftermath of the Wounded Knee massacre. At least one of the photos was taken by photographer Clarence Moreledge at the Pine Ridge Agency, showing Lieutenant John J. Pershing posing with his Indian Scouts in front of a tipi. Photograph reads in the negative, ''Troop 'B' Ogallalas Indian scouts''. The other possibly unpublished photo shows U.S. cavalry troops formed in a semi-circle at or near Pine Ridge, numbered 122 in pencil on the mat, likely taken by photographer George Trager. Photos measure 7'' x 4.25'', affixed to an album mat measuring 10'' x 7''. Some buckling and staining to mat. Photos are a bit light, but overall in very good condition.
