Edward Boos Flathead Indian Montana Photo

Lot # 226 (Sale Order: 226 of 1017)      

5" by 7". Subject is Rosalea daughter of Isabelle. Boos' Flathead Reservation portraits document particularly insightful details regarding the lifestyle, possessions, and...more landscapes of tribal members just prior to the 1910 Allotment Act--an action that opened vast portions of the reservation to non-tribal settlement. In contrast to the Salish, Kootenai, and Pend'Oreille photographs, Boos' Flathead, Mission, and Missoula valleys series is a mix of broad landscape images, community events, and portraits. This series primarily contains photographs of the Flathead and Missoula valleys; however, it also includes a few photographs from the Mission valley as well as one from near Frenchtown, MT, looking east towards Missoula. The landscape photographs in this series offer a significant record of topography and general vegetative matrices during the early stages of community expansion into the foothills of the Missoula and Flathead valleys. The series also records some common leisure activities among western Montanans at the turn of the 20th Century, as well as glimpses of Missoula community events. The Victoria, B.C. series contains photographs from an undated vacation.

Men who captured poacher Howell, posed with 8 of the confiscated bison heads. Left to right: in uniform, Lieutenant John T. Nance, Captain George Lawson Scott, and Lieute...morenant Forsyth. Photo by Gandy. Phenomenal and Iconic Early Western Image. 5 1/2" by 9". A native of Lafayette, OR, George Lawson Scott (1849-1926), graduated from West Point in 1875, and was assigned soon after to the 6th US Cavalry, with which he served during the greater part of his military service in Arizona and Wyoming. He took part in the Apache campaign in the Southwest and a Sioux campaign in Wyoming and Dakota, at the time of the Ghost Dance excitement, which resulted in the death of Sitting Bull. Colonel Scott also raised the siege in the war at Fort McKinney, WY. In March 1894, Scott and a patrol of soldiers captured Edgar Howell, a poacher from Cooke City, MT, for killing Bison in the Pelican Valley section of Yellowstone Park. At the time, there were no laws that would allow prosecution of Howell, so he was temporarily detained and removed from the park. However, shortly after his capture, F. Jay Haynes, the park photographer, along with western author Emerson Hough and guide Billy Hofer encountered Scott and Howell as he was being escorted back to Fort Yellowstone. The encounter was captured on film by Haynes, and the story was telegraphed to Hough's publisher: Forest and Stream. These events inspired the magazine's editor, George Bird Grinnell, to lobby congress for a law to allow prosecution of crimes in Yellowstone, which resulted in the Lacey Act of 1894. In response to Yellowstone's park administrators' inability to punish poachers, Congressman John F. Lacey sponsored legislation that gave the Department of Interior authority to arrest and prosecute those violating the law within the park. The Lacey Act subsequently became the cornerstone of future law enforcement policies in the park. (Information obtained from familysearch.org on October 19, 2016.) In 1898, Scott commanded the headquarters' guard of General Brooks at Puerto Rico, and after the war, he had charge of the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota. For a while, he also oversaw the Apache prisoners of war at Fort Sill, OK in 1911. Following 30 years of service, Scott retired at his own request. He suffered a stroke, which resulted in his death at the Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco.
