George A. Addison Photographs and Tax Document

1890 - 1907

https://archives.nationalcowboymuseum.org/repositories/3/resources/2

The collection is arranged in three series, George A. Addison, Native Americans, and Settler Life. Virtually none of the 76 mounted photographs that comprise this collection can be dated with certainty. The bulk of the collection consists of photographs of Native Americans that were probably taken during Addison’s time in the Fort Sill area (1890-1895), but other images are copy prints or are otherwise not specifically dateable. Photographs that cannot be specifically dated have been dated as circa 1895, which covers Addison’s time at Fort Sill and his period of greatest activity as a photographer. Some photographs exist in multiples and others have significant damage to the emulsion or mount, including one Geronimo image that has been torn in half.
