Large ablumen cabinet card photograph of Captain Jack and San Carlos Apaches “New Era Exposition” 1889, by J.S. Saurman of St. Joseph, Colorado.8-1/2”x5-1/4” and depicts dozens of Native Americans with Captain Jack and several other cowboys. Fine condition. John Wallace ("Captain Jack)" Crawford (1847–1917), known as "The Poet Scout", was an American adventurer, educator, and author. "Captain Jack" was a master storyteller about the Wild West and is known in American history as one of the most popular performers in the late nineteenth century. His daring ride of 350 miles in six days to carry dispatches to Fort Laramie for the New York Herald, to tell the news of the great victory by Gen. George Crook against the village of Chief American Horse at the Battle of Slim Buttes during the Great Sioux War of 1876-1877, made him a national celebrity.
