Lewis Rocks, Tumbling Run, site near early Carlisle Indian
School camp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aug 12, 1892 Notes from INDIAN HELPER weekly “letter.”
Lewis Rocks
Apple fritters, prune pies and blackberry puddings
Great many snakes killed
Camp lies 5 miles from the railroad, uphill all the way.
At the mouth of Tumbling Run, under the shadow of Lewis'
Rock
No houses within 4 miles
Otto Wells (Comanche) is in charge of the mule and
"thinks more of it
than of himself."
One mule to haul supplies and passengers.
“It is therefore no wonder that a gentleman from Carlisle not long since, seeing the un-level road he had to travel from the station, and being unaccustomed to tramping wanted to hire a vehicle to convey him up to camp. Finding none, however, he was obliged to tramp it like the rest of us.
Should there be a picnic down at Pine Grove and the cooks all want to go, a new force is put in, one a cripple and the rest as green as gourds as far as cooking is concerned, and they get up a half-cooked dinner, entirely indigestible, while those at the school are having the idea that the camp boys must be "getting fat."
Our camp being located on a slope, those who are not careful as to the exact levelness of their beds are inclined to roll down hill. Our camp is located so far back in the mountains affords us beautiful and wonderful scenery.
Waterfalls are
innumerable
So enticing is the
scene that one being here invites our
So on a bright sunny morning all start for a favorable spot o have a few pictures taken, each anxious to have his own form taken with these beautiful waterfalls.
--------------------------------------
On Monday afternoon the campers had a scare. Just over Lewis' rock smoke was seen to rise. It looked as though the mountain was on fire. Reuben Wolf was sent out with a looking glass to find out. If it were a fire and the campers were needed to help put it out he was to flash a signal.
Fortunately no signal was flashed as the fire was down near Mt.
Between 1879 and 1917, nine Seminole students were sent to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. There were 2 girls and 7 boys, most from the Kiowa, Comanche and Wichita Agency. Their names, in order of arrival:
Albert Mekko, age 17, arrived Oct 27, 1879. He died at Carlisle April 21, 1879 and is buried in the cemetery. There is a photo of Albert among a group of students identified as "Our Boys and Girls." https://carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/images/our-boys-and-girls-1881 Albert is number 24. Also in the photo is Laura Toneadledmah, (Kiowa) who accompanied the group Albert arrived with in 1879. There were 55 children brought to Carlisle from OK in that Oct 27, 1879 group - 14 girls and 41 boys. Of those, ten died at the school and are buried in the cemetery although two have been repatriated, and one is scheduled to be returned next week.
The remaining Seminole children from OK enrolled are:
Jennie Connors, age 10, arrived Aug 31, 1882. Her sister, Winnie Connors, age 12, arrived the same day.
John Lowry, age 22, arrived Sep 24, 1888.
.David Baker, age 21, arrived Mar 16, 1900. He ran away from the school.
Wallace Benjamin, age 20 and Wallace Berryman, age 20 arrived Aug 30, 1906. Both of these young men died at the school.
David Wasase, age 21, arrived Sep 17, 1914.
James Robb Brown, age 15, arrived Sep 22, 1917.
The school closed in August 1918.
Message received in May 2024, from:
Curator of the Native American collections
Museum of Civilizations (Italian Ministry of Culture)
Piazza Guglielmo Marconi 14
Rome, Italy
"Together with my colleagues we are conducting a research on the evidence in Italian archives and museums related to the American Indian Boarding Schools in the United States between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The starting point of our research are some photographs kept in the Archive of the Museum of Civilization, concerning the American Indian Boarding School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and Hampton Normal and Agricultural Boarding School in Virginia. The files attached concerns the Carlisle Indian Industrial School.
These photographs had been donated to the Museum in 1913 by the Italian zoologist and anthropologist Enrico Hillyer Giglioli, who received them in 1883-1884 by Robert Wilson Shufeldt, when Shufeldt was honorary curator at the Smithsonian Institution (1882 - 1892).
As you can see, the photos are a copy of the ones taken by Choate available at the https://carlisleindian.dickinson.edu/.
Thanks to the digitalisation work carried out at Carlsisle (https://carlisleindian.dickinson.edu), we were able to identify almost all the students of the Carlsisle's school in the photographs we have in our Archive. Only a few are left out. Of these we have not found any files.
We are trying to reconstruct the identities and biography of the all children in the photos kept at Museum’s Archive to finally bring them out of anonymity and inform any descendants, relatives, friends.
The aim of the research is also to reconstruct the historical path and the reasons that brought these photographs to Italy in colonial times, a few years after they were taken at Carlisle. Enrico Giglioli received them in 1883 – 1884.
But our desire is also another.
We would like to be able to let descendants, friends, relatives, know that some photos of their loved ones are in an archive of an Italian National Museum. We would like, of course if they are interested in doing so, to create a discussion with them to see how we can tell the story of their loved ones together.
These photos arrived here at that time because Italy, like other European countries, was a protagonist of the colonial culture. Therefore, we believe that it is important to make known, also to the Italians of today, the various ways in which Italy was involved in the culture of assimilation of other human beings."
