Soule, William Stinson, 1836-1908

William Stinson Soule (born August 28, 1836, Turner, Maine-died August 12, 1908, Boston), American photographer, began working in a photographic studio in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. In 1868, Soule moved to Fort Dodge, Kansas, where he established a part-time photographic studio. From ca. early 1870s until ca. 1874, Soule worked at Camp Supply and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where he was photographer of the new fort. Ca. 1874, Soule moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where he operated a photographic studio until his retirement in 1902.

Originally from New England, Soule moved to the West as a photographer in 1868, first working at Fort Dodge, Kansas, then at Camp Supply in Indian Territory with General Philip Sheridan's campaigning troops. As the photographer for the U. S. Army at Fort Sill beginning in 1869, he photographed the construction of the fort as well as many of the persons and events associated with the Indian Wars in that area. Soule left Fort Sill in 1875 to return to the East where he married Ella Blackman and established his photography practice. From 1882 until his death, he owned and operated the Soule Art Company in Boston.
