Omaha Indians camping near Waconda Springs, Kansas, 1878; RPPC

Description

This is a real photo postcard from the 1940s (EKC stamp box) with a typewriter caption: "Omaha Indians Camping near Waconda Springs (Kansas) 1878."  The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has a similar card.  It seems that in the 1940s, someone made a photograph of an 1878 photographic image and turned it into a real photo postcard.  This is NOT an 1878 postcard.  But, it does show an important and fascinating view of a group of Native Americans visiting a site many tribes considered sacred, until it was turned into a commercial spa and sanatorium.  VG condition, postally unused, light soiling and toning, lightly bumped corners, bit of edge wear.  Nice 80-year-old card depicting an even older historical photograph.  Be the buyer!
