Southern Gems series Additional information found on the back of the same stereograph card at Smithsonian Institution. Text on ba+H187ck of that card states:"Indians at Fort Marion. These Indians, of the several different tribes, during the month of May, 1875, were brought from Fort Sill and the Cheyenne agency, because of their turbulent disposition and influence over the other tribes in that locality. Among them are several noted chiefs. The majority of them express their preference for the climate of Florida over that of the West; and should liberty be extended to them, they would probably remain in the State. They are peaceful and appear content in their present quarters. Many apply their spare time to the construction of bows and arrows, the polishing of sea beans, and the making of other trinkets, which they offer for sale among visitors. They are very polite, and on the appearance of strangers doff their hats and extend their hands with a 'How.' The Indians are in charge of Capt. R. H. Pratt of the Tenth United States Cavalry. He is much esteemed by the Indians for his gentlemanly treatment in promoting their comfort."
