Part of Lorenzo Lorain photographs
Four salt print photographs from page 19 of an album of photography by Lorenzo Lorain (OHS Album 101). Image descriptions starting from the top photograph:
- A hewn-log cabin on the banks of a river which was likely taken near Fort Umpqua in Douglas County, Oregon Territory.
- A group of Native American men, women, and children seated below a tree on the top of a sand dune.
- A portrait of an unidentified Native American man.
- A portrait of an unidentified Native American woman.
The identities of the people and the exact location in the photographs on this page are unknown, but the photographs likely depict members of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, Siuslaw or Siletz peoples held at a camp on the bank of the Umpqua River on the southern border of the Coast Reservation near Fort Umpqua.
