Carlisle Indian Industrial School Graduates 1889 – 1895

The Carlisle Indian School is situated in the heart of the great Pennsylvania agricultural belt on the edge of Carlisle, in the beautiful Cumberland Valley, about nineteen miles from Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania one hundred twenty miles from Washington DC. The climate is very healthful, there being great extremes neither of cold nor of heat.

For years there had been a cavalry barracks located on the present site of the school. In the early history of the Colonies, this had been a frontier military post, and it was here that, in 1775, Benjamin Franklin made a treaty of peace with the Indian Tribes of Pennsylvania.

    Hello:
    Your Carlisle Graduating Class of 1891 lists 7 students. However, I have an original and official photograph (probably by Chote) and it has 11 identified graduates in it.

    Best,

    Doug
