    This collection contains 50 photographs (28 prints, 21 tintypes, and 1 daguerreotype), collected by Florence Barclay Hyatt (born 1865), who moved with her family to the Dakota Territory as a child and later ran a boarding house in Bismarck, North Dakota. The photographs include 14 card photographs chronicling the aftermath of the Wounded Knee Massacre in southwestern South Dakota from 1890 to 1891. Photographs show images of the corpses of Sioux Indians in a mass grave, Chief Hollow Wood, Chief Young Man Afraid of his Horses, council meetings amongst Sioux chiefs, the Ghost Dance, Pine Ridge Indian Agency, Indian police, the Pine Ridge Agency hospital, Indian men and women, and the remnants of Indian camps. Eight views of the mid-Western United States include Sioux Indian Red Tomahawk; Minnehaha Falls in Minnesota; the 1890 Corn Palace in Sioux City, Iowa; and various nature scenes. The Northwestern Photographic Company created the Wounded Knee Massacre photographs (1-14). F.B. Fiske created photograph (15) of Red Tomahawk, and Brown & Wait created photograph (21) of the Corn Palace at Sioux City, Iowa. Additionally, the collection also includes 28 Civil War era tintypes, carte-de-visites and card photographs, and one daguerreotype depicting Florence Barclay Hyatt's family members from the Askren, Johnson, Kirkpatrick, Messenger, and Ruark families. Some of the sitters have been identified while others remain unknown.
