Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Consists of a stereographic photograph depicting a group of people who appear to mostly be settlers resting and eating dinner on a prairie during the Sioux Uprising of 1862. The photograph is titled "People Escaping from the Indian Massacre of 1862, in Minnesota, at Dinner on a Prairie. Photographed by one of the Party." The mount credits Charles A. Zimmerman of St. Paul, Minnesota, but Adrian John Ebell was likely the actual photographer.
