Indians of Today

Preface by G.B. Grinnell; pp. 1-185. Frank A. Rinehart was born in 1862 and learned the photographic trade in his father's studio. He opened his own studio in Omaha in 1881 and was appointed as the official photographer for the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition of 1898. As part of the Expo, Smithsonian ethnographer James Mooney designed a living ethnographic exhibition of American Indians invited as delegates to the Indian Congress. Over 500 Indian delegates traveled to Omaha from all over the country, representing the following tribes: Apache, Southern Arapaho, Crow, Flathead, Iowa, Kiowa, Omaha, Oto, Ponca, Potawatomi, Santa Clara Pueblo, Sauk and Fox, Lakota, Tonkawa, Wichita, and Winnebago. James Mooney contracted with Frank A. Rinehart, to take photographs of the American Indian delegates during the last week of the Indian Congress. Rinehart made a series of several hundred pictures forming altogether one of the finest collections of Indian portraits in existence. Rinehart and his assistant, Adolph Muhr, made over 500 glass-plate negatives and at least 1200 platinum prints in the temporary studio set up at the Expo grounds. The Rinehart photographs depict one of the best photographic documentations of Indian leaders at the turn of the century.
