Hi Fran,
Your posting regarding photographers in North Dakota and reference to S.T. Fansler has my interest.
My Great Grandfather James H. Lucas was a photographer at the Standing Rock Reservation and in St. Paul MN. back in the 1880's. We have some of his photographs of the reservation and famous people of the day.I have been searching for any information on him or the photographers of that era.
S. T. Fansler was a photographer at Fort Yates.He had a young assistant named Fiske who took over the studio about 1900 when Fansler left Fort Yates.Fiske became rather famous.
I would be very interested in any other bits of information you may have regarding early photographers.
Regards,
Liz Chadwick
