• Lot Description
  [NATIVE AMERICANS]. CDV of ?Cut Nose / Who in the Massacre of 1862, in Minnesota, murdered 18 Women and Children and 5 Men?? St. Paul, MN: J. E. Whitney, 1862. CDV on photographer?s mount with the above caption. Photo approximately 3 ? x 2 ??. Mount approximately 4 x 2 ??. Some minor rubbing. Excellent. Rare. Marpiya Okinajin, better known as ?Cut Nose? attacked a group of fleeing white settlers near Fort Ridgely, but ultimately spared their lives due to the intervention of a Native American woman who was married to a white man. After the Dakota conflict, he was executed along with 37 other Native Americans (December 26, 1862), in the largest one-day execution in U. S. history. Although he was buried along with the other captives in a mass grave, he was later disinterred by Dr. William Mayo, and his corpse was used for dissection, and his skeleton was used for research. 138 years later his remains were ceremoniously buried with the honors of a chief. From the Mark Rucker Collection.
