D/j is Good, with some sunning and taped repairs to inside, and is now in mylar. Ohio-born Stanley J. Morrow, (1843-1921) was a pioneer of the new yet cumbersome techniques of wet-plate photography in the rapidly expanding western territories around the time of the Civil War. There is a biography, discussing the dangers and difficulties he faced working in an inhospitable environment. From his studio in Yankton, Dakota, he ventured out to photograph the Sioux Santee Reservation, documenting the lives of the indigenous people in now-classic portraits. Later, he would photograph gold mining in the Black Hills. Prints remade from Morrow's original stereoscopic slides are now housed at The Smithsonian. The list of illustrations alone spans five pages.
