From the Newberry Library Catalogue (applies to the Andrew Jackson Faulk collection as a whole): Primarily large format albumen prints, but also a few stereographs and carte de visites, of scenes in the Dakota Territory and of Indians residing within its borders, taken mainly during the late 1850's and 1860's. Dakota Territory photographs include views of Yankton, its buildings, and its citizens; images of Forts Dakota and Randall taken by B.H. Gurnsey of Sioux City, Iowa; shots the Congregational church and parsonage at Faulkton, of the Big Sioux River and Sioux Falls, and of Indian camps; and carte de visite portraits of Newton Edmonds and Struck-by-the-Ree. There are thirty-two oval portraits of Yankton, Brul?e, Two Kettle, and Santee Sioux chiefs, interpreters, and others taken during treaty negotiations in 1858 at the Addis Gallery in Washington, D.C. Also portraits of Andrew Jackson Faulk and his father, John Faulk (tintype copy of a daguerreotype image); an 1860's print of a Pennsylvania oil well; a view of a pontoon bridge spanning the Missouri River at Nebraska City, Neb., and an early 1890's group portrait of the South Dakota Board of Woman Commissioners for the World's Columbian Exposition.
