bioghist: label: Biographical/Historical note
content: Stanley J. Morrow (1843-1921) was a pioneer photographer who documented American Indians, forts and agencies, and military expeditions, largely in the Great Plains region.  Born in Richland County, Ohio, Morrow received his first training in photography as Matthew B. Brady's volunteer assistant (ca. 1863-1865) in the US Army.  Morrow was mustered out of the army in early 1865 and returned to Wisconsin to marry Iza Ketchum.  Late in 1868, Morrow and his family moved to Yankton, Dakota Territory, where he opened a studio.  In 1874, Morrow opened a branch photo gallery in St. Helena, Nebraska, and photographed the territorial legislature.  Morrow was an official photographer under the command of General George Crook after the battle of the Little Big Horn, photographing the Battle of Slim Buttes in September 1876.  He was also the photographer for the initial reburial expedition at Little Big Horn under W. K. Sanderson in 1877.  The Morrow family moved to Florida in 1883, though Stanley Morrow continued to photograph in the South and East until his death.

scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents note
content: Photographs made by Stanley J. Morrow depicting Plains Indians, agencies, and United States Army installations and expeditions. About half of the subjects relate to American Indians, including Arikara, Hidatsa, Mandan, Ponca, Crow, Cheyenne, Bannock, Hunkpapa,  Oglala, and other Teton Sioux including "Loafer Band," Yanktonai, Santee, Sisseton and Wahpeton.  The rest include views of Yankton, Vermillion, Deadwood and Rapid City in the 1880s; Civil War scenes; the Battle of Slim Buttes (1876); the reburial expedition at Little Big Horn (1877); and Morrow family portraits.  Though the bulk of the photographs appear to have been made by Morrow, some were likely created by other photographers.
