content: The Gottschall Collection probably refers to Amos Haverstick Gotschall (1854 – 1936). Gottschall was a traveler, author, collector and entrepreneur. While still in his teens, in 1871 he left home in Pennsylvania and began a trip across North America. He made four trips across the United States over a period of twelve years, frequently staying in Native American communities and developing friendships among the people. He learned the Lakota (Sioux) language and appeared to have spent more time among the various bands of these people than any other group. He collected Native American objects from 1871 until 1905. In his book “Travels From Ocean To Ocean, and From The Lakes To The Gulf” https://hdl.handle.net/2027/loc.ark:/13960/t52f84d29 , Gottchall narrated his experiences in his journeys and his time in the Native American communities. In 1881, he established Gottschall Remedies (patent medicines) which operated until 1915. His 3 volume sales catalog of 1909 provides information for his pieces. See Gottschall, Amos H. 1909. Priced and descriptive catalogue of the utensils, implements, weapons, garments, ornaments etc. of the Indians, mound builders, cliff dwellers. Harrisburg, Penna: A.H.
