1866 Chief Colonel Iroquois Parker Samuel Seneca Union Yankee


EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1866 depicts Ely S. Parker, an influential figure in American history. Parker was not only an esteemed Army colonel but also a chief of the Seneca Native American tribe. The image showcases his remarkable ability to navigate between two worlds and cultures during a time of great conflict and change. In the midst of the Civil War, Parker played a significant role as a military officer, serving as adjutant to General Ulysses S. Grant. His expertise and dedication earned him respect among his fellow soldiers, both Native American and non-Native alike. Parker's heritage as a member of the Iroquois Confederacy, specifically the Seneca tribe, added another layer to his identity. As depicted in this wood engraving, he proudly wore traditional attire that symbolized his connection to his people and their rich cultural heritage. The image captures Parker standing tall with other men in what appears to be a middle ground between Native America and mainstream America - representing unity amidst diversity. It serves as a reminder that even during times of division such as the Civil War era, individuals like Parker were able to bridge gaps between different communities. This historic print is not just an artistic representation; it is also emblematic of resilience and strength exhibited by those who straddle multiple identities while striving for harmony within society.
