Album which includes many views of Indian artifacts, such as arrowheads, pottery, metal and stone relics, some of which were excavated by Rust himself, as he describes in captions. There are also views of skulls excavated in Missouri, 1879, by Rust. Rust's handwritten captions identifying items and where they were found, by himself or others, are of particular interest in this collection. The album also contains photographs of Indians from Great Plains and western tribes, and Indian schools in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and Perris, California. There are two striking "before and after" photographs of Chiricahua Apache children sent to Carlisle Indian School, Pennsylvania. Also of note are many views of Southern California Indians, including portraits of Cabazon, Soboba, Luiseno and Cahuilla tribe members, some partially identified by family names: Estudillo; Victoriano of Soboba; Lugo (or Lubo); Casero; Costo; Pablo "Chief of Cahuilla"; Silvestre. Other subjects included: two group portraits of Yuma Indian men, 1891; studio portraits of Keokuk (Sauk); Billy Bowlegs (Seminole); Ouray and Ignacio (Ute); reproductions of drawings of Indians on horses; reproductions of 17th-century deeds related to John Pynchon and colonial Deerfield, Massachusetts; a John K. Hillers photograph of John W. Powell, George W. Ingalls and others in Colorado, 1873; scenes of the Indian Council at Pala, California, 1886; Old Creek Indian Council House, Okmulgee, OK; and portraits of Sam Temple and the Cahuilla woman known as "Ramona," who inspired characters in Helen Hunt Jackson's novel, "Ramona."
