Does anyone have a copy of Ferdinand V. Hayden's "Contributions to the ethnography and philology of the Indian tribes of the Missouri Valley" 1862? I found a digital copy on line marked as having no copyright - www.archive.org/details/contributionstoe00haydrichBUT the one page I wanted to view was not scanned! At the very back of the book is a page "Plate 1" - I'm looking for a good scan of Figure 4 - which shows Mrs. Galpin (aka Wambdi Autepewin/ Eagle Woman Who All Look At) holding her daughter Alma Galpin (Alma later married Henry Parkin - orginal owner of the Cannonball Ranch and one of the first state senators of North Dakota). I would very much appreciate a scan of Plate 1 Figure 4 if you have a copy of the book. warm regards, Barbara

I do have a photocopy of the whole Hayden volume including the illustrations. They are a kind of engraving taken from photographs - Dietmar will know the process - so I'm not sure how clear the scan will be. It may be Saturday before I can get it done

Yes, that's a wonderful picture! I have only a photocopy---but I've seen it scanned recently on line...so maybe try looking for a different on line source than what you were looking at before. If I get time, I'll poke around and see if I can locate the site I found it on. Emily

I googled and found nothing. The only portrait of her I have seen so far is in the "Lakota Women" thread and the group photo from Standing Rock with other L/Dakota leaders.
Kingsley, if you scan the picture I´ll be happy to post it for you. (SchMoehring@aol.com)

Kingsley has sent me the picture of Matilda Galpin and her daughter: Attached is the scan of the image from F. V. Hayden's volume 'Contributions to the Ethnography and Philology of the Indian Tribes of the Missouri Valley'. It's captioned as Fig. 4, 'Dakota Woman', while the "Explanation of Plates and Map', p. 457, says this:
"FIG. 4 represents the daughter of a late chief of one of the principal bands of the Dakota nation, and is now the wife of Mr. Charles E. Galpin, one of the chief partners in the American Fur Company. She is a woman of much intelligence and fine natural capacities, and may be regarded as the highest type of her sex among the Indian tribes of the Northwest."
Thanks go to my son David for technical aid - and Dietmar!

Yes - Kingsley thank you so much! I only have 2 other photos of my great great grandmother. This is the first time I've seen her with her hair down. I am so grateful.
