{"product_id":"1867-burning-cheyenne-village-hawaiian-king-honolulu-us-army-uniform-jun-8","title":"1867 Burning Cheyenne Village, Hawaiian King Honolulu, US Army Uniform — Jun 8","description":"🗞️ HARPER'S WEEKLY · June 8, 1867\nComplete Issue · New York\n\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\nA historically varied issue spanning the American frontier and the Pacific — the Cheyenne village burning at Fort Larned with portraits of Kiowa and Arapaho chiefs, King Kamehameha V laying a cornerstone in Honolulu thirty-one years before Hawaii became American territory, new U.S. Army artillery uniforms, and a Pittsburgh sculling race. Strong content for Indian Wars collectors, Hawaiian history enthusiasts, and military history buffs.\n\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n🪶 THE INDIAN WAR — FORT LARNED\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\n🔥 FULL PAGE — \"THE INDIAN WAR\" — FOUR ILLUSTRATIONS INCLUDING \"FORT LARNED, KANSAS,\" \"BURNING THE CHEYENNE VILLAGE NEAR FORT LARNED,\" AND PORTRAITS OF KIOWA AND ARAPAHO CHIEFS\nA full-page documentary of the Indian War of 1867 at its most charged — four illustrations including the burning of a Cheyenne village near Fort Larned and individual portraits of Kiowa and Arapaho chiefs. Fort Larned on the Pawnee Fork of the Arkansas River was one of the most important military posts on the Santa Fe Trail, and the summer of 1867 saw intense Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Arapaho resistance to the encroachment of the railroad and settlers. The burning of Cheyenne villages — following Hancock's destruction of the Pawnee Fork village in April 1867 — was a policy that inflamed rather than suppressed resistance, triggering the raids and counter-raids that made 1867 one of the bloodiest years on the southern Plains. The portraits of the Kiowa and Arapaho chiefs — named leaders of nations whose way of life was being systematically destroyed — are rare and significant pieces of Plains Indian portraiture. A significant and highly collectible piece of Indian Wars history, Western Americana, and Native American history.\n\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n🌺 KING KAMEHAMEHA V — HONOLULU\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\n🌺 ONE-THIRD PAGE — \"KING KAMEHAMEHA V LAYING THE CORNERSTONE OF THE BISHOP'S CHURCH AT HONOLULU\"\nA one-third page illustration of King Kamehameha V — the last of the Kamehameha dynasty and the strongest of Hawaii's constitutional monarchs — laying the cornerstone of the Bishop's Church (now the Cathedral of Saint Andrew) in Honolulu. Published thirty-one years before Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898, this illustration is a primary document of the Kingdom of Hawaii at the height of its independence, when it was still a sovereign nation with its own king, court, and religious institutions. Kamehameha V, who reigned from 1863 to 1872, was the last Hawaiian monarch to bear the Kamehameha name — after his death without an heir the dynasty ended and Hawaii entered the turbulent succession crises that would eventually lead to the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani. A rare and significant piece of Hawaiian royal history.\n\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n🎖️ U.S. ARMY UNIFORM\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\n🎖️ FULL PAGE — \"NEW REGULATION UNIFORM OF THE U.S. ARTILLERY\"\nA full-page illustration of the new regulation uniform of the United States Artillery — published just two years after the Civil War as the Army was reorganizing for peacetime frontier duty. A significant and displayable piece of American military history and uniform history, capturing the post-Civil War Army at the moment of its transformation from a war machine into a frontier constabulary.\n\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n🚣 INSIDE THE ISSUE\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\n🚣 ILLUSTRATION — \"SCULL RACE AT PITTSBURGH\"\nAn illustration of a sculling race at Pittsburgh — a vivid piece of Pennsylvania sporting and river history, capturing the athletic competitions that were a fixture of life on the great rivers of the industrial Midwest.\n\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n📋 CONDITION\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\nI photograph every page of every issue so you can inspect the condition closely before purchasing.
