In 1979 there were no federal or state recognised tribes or tribal groups within SC.  That was still several years in the future. An interesting photograph from 1979.  The chiefs of the Catawba, Edisto, Santee and Pee Dee Nations comprise this image.

A mystery solved or a total leap of faith?

Every archival collection usually contains photographs of mystery people. Who were these individuals? How do we identify them? It becomes difficult after 20 to 30 years. It's nearly impossible after 100. Yet sometimes clues occur in an unusual fashion. Here's a brief display of the processes an archivist often goes through.

The Thomas John Blumer Collection contains nearly 3,000 photographs and 5,700 slides, mostly related to the Catawba Indian Nation. Many of these photographs are unidentified although Catawba elders have helped add many names.   

The photographic postcard below has always been a mystery: 

First let's review what is known about this photograph. It is part of the Blumer Catawba Photograph Collection and is one of a series of 17 images captioned:

1. Folder 188: Fred Sanders Album.  Photograph 1 is a professional shot taken in Germany (Oct. 1945), 2 -8, 10 by TJB, 11-17 found in the Fred Sanders correspondence. 

2. This is actually a "real photo postcard." The reverse of this image is a postcard that could be mailed. Real photo postcards were published on Kodak Professional AZO Paper and can be approximately dated by the "stamp box" on the back. The pattern of four triangles pointed upwards dates this image to somewhere between 1904-1918. Photographic publishers often kept stocks of paper until they were used up however, so it's possible this image was made several years later using older paper. 

Therefore we have an image probably associated with the family of Fred Sanders and it dates somewhere approximately between 1904-1918 and possibly later. For the last decade that's been all that I've known. Occasionally I'd pull the image and resign myself to never knowing.

Yet today, while processing an oral history for the Native American South Carolina Digital Archive I found the following dialogue from a 1984 Oral History Interview with Catawba Sallie Wade, conducted by Dr. Blumer. They are discussing George Brown, the son of two well known Catawbas, John Brown and Rachel Wysie Brown. 

TB: What happened to his eyes?  How did he get blind?

SW: He got blind when he was little. I don’t know how, he just went blind I reckon. Because he was a small kid when he went blind. I remember that. His eyes got sore and they thought that—he had a little horse that played with all the time. They thought maybe he got—

TB: Something from that?

SW: Something from that horse, but I don’t know. But he went blind in both eyes at the same time I know that. He got sore eyes when he went blind and never did get better.

TB: Yeah, I spoke to him and he said that John Brown [George’s father] took him everywhere.

SW: Yeah.

TB: To every doctor he could find.

I've always wondered if the boy on the left in the photograph was blind. His eyes are closed and often the eyes of blind individuals remain closed or open infrequently due to whatever caused the blindness. There is also the fact that George Brown was the uncle of Fred Sanders and perhaps the photograph found it's way into his album from Fred's mother, Arzada, the sister of George.  

George Brown was born in 1914 so if this was taken about 1918 he would be about three or four. The boy seems to be several years older though. However, John Brown was a large "big-boned" man and his sons were large men. And the postcard could have been made several years after 1918 which would work. 

The narrative did go on to say that George Brown received special schooling, lived in Columbia and got married in 1952. 

Conclusions: 

The boy may simply have closed his eyes when the photo was taken like many of us do today. Everything you've just read may be an absolute flight of archival whimsy. There is no concrete evidence. 

I will however make a judgement call and change the listing for this photograph to read "Boy on left is possibly George Brown" which doesn't really say anything at all. I'll also include a copy of what you've just read so that fifty years from now patrons will know why the archivist made this call. There is even a remote chance that somewhere there is an individual who knows the answer and will reach out. 

In the meantime though, it's actually a really amazing photograph. 

Selected World War II Images from the Garfield Crawford Harris Collection

The Garfield Crawford Harris Collection contains a limited number of photographs, only 28 total. Many of these were poorly stored and are water damaged.  Garfield annotated several and his captions are added below the images.

Garfield Crawford Harris Collection

(1914-1994)

(Updated 4/13/2016)

Biographical Note:

The following was written by Dr. Thomas Blumer after the death of Garfield Harris.

“Catawba Indian Autobiographer Passes”

“I was born March 14, 1914, between midnight and day.” Thus begins the direct opening statement of Garfield Harris, who for many years had planned to write “his story.” Actually begun in September 1993, his autobiography preserves bits and pieces of Catawba history in a way uniquely his own.

He was the son of Theodore and Artemis Harris, both Catawba Indians. His father was a sharecropper and his mother, a graduate of Carlisle Indian Industrial, kept the home and made Catawba pottery. The family totaled 11 children in all.

School began for Garfield at age seven in 1921. He was always studious and liked the learning process, but school was difficult for him, for early in life he faced adult chores around the house and in the cotton fields. He received his schooling at the Catawba Indian School, founded in 1896 and closed in 1966. While hundreds of Indian children there learned to read, write and calculate, only Garfield Harris aspired to write his autobiography.  His spotty attendance record however, surely impressed his teachers negatively. Chores came first:

“I only have seven grades in school. My dad was a farmer, and he didn’t believe in kids   going to school. When farming time came, it was in March. If I was in school, I had to stay out to clear up the field and to plant, cut sprouts and briars, corn stalks and cotton stalks to start plowing. Next, cotton had to be hoed. When we finished, I was able to go back to school for two weeks. We took our exams in May.”

When Garfield had time left for study, it was often late at night. And the family often didn’t have money for kerosene to fuel the lamps. His solution was found in pine knots. He gathered them for their steady, bright light. Then after dinner, he would light one and study by it “until one or two in the night.”

His formal schooling ended in 1929 at the age of 15. He went to work on the nearby Sullivan farm for 50 cents a day in summer and 40 cents a day in winter, working from “Sunday to Sunday.” He knew he was fortunate to have even this meager income because the family could do much with so little. His earnings made his 1933 marriage to Ruthie Harris possible. After two years, they separated.

In 1936 he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps and left the Catawba nation for the first time.

“I remember the day we left. We met a bus in front of People’s Bank in Rock Hill and left early in the morning for Columbia…I kind of got homesick but stayed.”

From Columbia, the group was sent to Pennsylvania where Garfield was impressed by the “hard winter.” In the spring he was transferred to Salina, California. His last written statement concerns the joy of seeing the country:

“I learned a lot about traveling and it was a wonderful experience which came in handy in later years.”

While Garfield’s personal account ends with this brief comment, the historical documentation picks up at this point. When WWII broke out, Garfield joined the US Army and served in North Africa. Upon returning home, he went to work for the Rock Hill Printing and Finishing Company (the Bleachery). In 1950 he was elected to the Catawba Indian Nation Tribal Council and served several terms under Chiefs Nelson Blue and Ephraim George. In 1958 he was again elected to the Council under Chief Nelson Blue whose task it was to guide the Catawba Nation through the termination of Federal status. Chief Blue resigned, and Garfield continued to serve under Chief Albert Sanders. Frustrated by the way Catawba assets were being terminated, he resigned in June 1959. Some months later, he married Olga Fowler.

The last years of Garfield’s life were spent nursing his wife and preparing his autobiography. While he did not live to complete the story, his brief contribution to Catawba written history is important for its deep sincerity. Perhaps this is most evident in his description of a house his parents rented from fellow tribal member Davis Ayers:

“The floor was fit together with rough timber, and you had cracks in the floor. You could feed chickens through the cracks. You got plenty of wind from them. We had to put sacks on the floor to keep the wind out…The shingles were made out of oak. When it rained, you had to set pots around to keep your bed from getting wet. As soon as the shingles got wet and swelled, the leaking stopped...I enjoyed my life and was as happy as anybody. We lived through it all, and I am still going on.”

Scope and Content Notes

The collection consists of 3.75 linear feet of material.  The journals begin in 1950 and span 45 years. They are a chronicle of daily life on the Catawba Indian Nation and are filled with accounts of the weather and events that Garfield found interesting. Many journals resemble scrapbooks, containing clippings, obituaries, and other ephemeral items.   

The 1983 journal contains Garfield’s “Remembrances”, autobiographical accounts of reservation life between the World Wars and Garfield’s military experiences. Of special note are his California experiences. Garfield, a Native American is a guard at a Japanese American internment camp.  He also talks about seeing the Navajo (the Navajo wind talkers) practice their signals across the valley.

Garfield was a devoted husband, and Olga the great love of his life. The two fell in love but separated due to the South Carolina ban on interracial marriage. They married in 1959, when the law was abolished. A long and happy marriage ensued with Olga predeceasing Garfield. From this point, almost all journal entries are addressed to his “dearest, darling.”

Many journals contain handwritten indexes created by Dr. Blumer.

The collection also contains some of Garfield’s personal effects such as marriage certificates, an honorable discharge from the Civilian Conservation Corps and various clippings. Of special interest is the unique family blood type shared by his family. The Harris variant was so rare the American Red Cross created a special category for it, and researchers around the world requested samples for study.  Further folders include a small correspondence file, and Mormon Church materials.

The Catawba Indian Agent (1840-1943) 

In 1763 the Catawbas signed the treaty of Augusta. Their numbers reduced greatly by disease and warfare, they ceded most of their lands and moved to a 15 square mile reservation. This reservation was on both sides of the Catawba river and encompassed territory in Lancaster and York Counties. Modern day Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Tega Cay and Indian Land were all part of the Catawba Indian Nation. 

J Drayton Map, thought to be from the 1820s. 

As time progressed the Catawbas leased much of their tribal lands to white settlers. Their numbers continued to decline and eventually the settlers coerced them into ceding the reservation. In 1840, after 77 years the Catawba reservation was dissolved. 

The Catawbas had been promised a home in North Carolina but North Carolina refused them. They wandered homeless until South Carolina purchased a one square mile reservation for them. This "old reservation" is still part of today's lands. 

In 1840, the state began appointing an Indian agent to oversee and provide support for the tribe. The legislature provided a yearly amount which the agent distributed to tribal members.The agent also handled burials and medical expenses and submitted a yearly report to the comptroller general. A sample report below from Captain A. E. Smith, an early mayor of Rock Hill and the longest serving agent. 

Report of the Comptroller General of the State of South Carolina to the General Assembly for the Fiscal year Ending October 31, 1887: 

Agent reports and correspondence provide important information in a time of scarce historical documentation. When the Catawbas were federally recognized in 1943, the office of Catawba Indian Agent was no longer necessary after 103 years. 

Below is a listing of all known Catawba Indian agents. Some were strong advocates such as T.O. Flowers who testified for the Catawbas in the US Congress and tried to get Reservation children enrolled at Rock Hill High School. We know relatively little about some agents and may have their terms in office wrong. The older records are often sketchy or missing. 

The following chart was created by the archivist using research notes compiled by Dr. Thomas J Blumer many years ago. We are grateful for his research.

 The following two paragraphs are shamelessly copied from the ASSC web page:                

                                                Mission Statement 

The Archaeological Society of South Carolina is an association of professional and avocational archaeologists and concerned citizens uniting together in a cooperative effort to understand the prehistory and history of South Carolina. It is a Society of dedicated members exerting their combined efforts toward the interpretation and preservation of South Carolina's rich cultural heritage.

The Archaeological Society of South Carolina has been in operation since 1968. Our goal is to share information about South Carolina's archaeological heritage. We do this through our annual conference, which is held in the Spring, a Fall Field Day event, a quarterly newsletter, and via the internet with this web site, a blog, and a Facebook page.
                              
                                                                         Creating a Finding Aid:

The Archaeology Society of South Carolina (ASSC)  is now in it's 47th year. For many years society records were kept at the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology (SCIAA) but not catalogued. Anthropologist and society archivist, Meg Gaillard began the process of  organizing the society's records in 2008. In the Archivist Report to the ASSC board, she reported on the "Current state of ASSC Archives, What Needs to be done, and What Should be Archived in the Future." Meg's recommendations and work, served as a template for current society archivist Brent Burgin to complete the processing of ASSC records.

The early years of the society are documented very well in these holdings. There are holes in the records however, especially in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Hopefully our membership may be able to assist in this area. 

ASSC Finding Aid as of 7/31/2015: 

Please note that this is not yet a finished document. I'm still hoping to find additional materials before we add box and folder numbers. Our missing copies of Features and Profiles are also highlighted.
