Lot of 7 CDVs, including five credited (mostly on verso) to Whitney, Saint Paul, Minnesota (one credited to Combs & Whitney), featuring views of "Chippewa Wigwams" with a canoe, the "Falls of St. Anthony," "Red River Ox Carts" in front of buildings, Chief "Little Crow" seated in a chair and partially wrapped in a blanket, and an unidentified young Indian standing in front of several teepees; and two uncredited images featuring unidentified Indian men, one wearing a suit and holding a hat, and the other wearing a head wrap and a blanket. The new state of Minnesota was home to thousands of American Indians in 1862, many of whom were disenchanted with the government's promise for annuities. In August of that year, a number of the Dakota were starving; on the 18th, Indians at the Lower Agency, under the leadership of Little Crow, attacked the white settlers there. Over the next few weeks hundreds of whites were killed, until the uprising was finally put down by Federal troops under the command of Henry Sibley. Whitney photographed a number of the Native American principals involved in the uprising. Condition: CDVs generally in good condition, with some spotting and discoloration affecting a few.
