Provenance: Linden-Museum, Stuttgart, Germany; Purchased in 1967 by Milton S. Fox from L. Bretschneder in Munich, Germany. Milton S. Fox and Ruby Canfield met in Paris in the 1920s while both there to study art. He came from Cleveland, Ohio, she came from Seattle, Washington. He was enrolled at the Academie Julian then at the Ecole des BeauxArtes, and she at the Academie Delecluse. When they returned to the United States, they married and settled in Cleveland, Ohio. Milton joined the Cleveland Museum of Art as a lecturer in the Education Department while also pursuing a career as a portrait painter. Ruby taught puppetry while continuing to paint. They had two children, Robin and Michael Allen. In 1944, the family moved to Hollywood, California, where Milton worked as a screen writer. Then in 1950 the family moved to New York when Milton joined the newly formed art book publishing firm, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers. Abrams was the first American publishing house to specialize in fine art books. Milton remained Editor-in-Chief until his death in 1971, overseeing the texts and production of books. Ruby died four years later. During the last decades of their lives, Milton and Ruby were able to travel widely in Europe and Japan.

Note: According to previous research, these gorgets were probably given to William Starring in the fall of 1866 at Fort Laramie, where he is known to have been stationed at the time. Plains Indians did not prefer the trade silver gorgets found in eastern North America, but instead favored the variant shape called “pectoral,” adopted primarily by the Kiowa, Cheyenne, Teton Sioux, and Shoshone. They were made primarily of German silver, an alloy of nickel, zinc, and copper. A true career military man, William was born in New York in 1841 to Sylvanus Seaman Starring and Adeline Starring. He had a brother, Frederick Augustus Starring, who became a brigadier general. William moved to Illinois when young, but returned east to attend West Point from 1860 to 1865. He then entered service in the US Army, most of which was spent out in the western territories.

The period Starring spent in Fort Laramie in 1866 is notable, as it is the first known occasion on which he would have been in the vicinity of Red Cloud and Spotted Tail.

This also happened to be the same month that Starring and J.K. Hyer published their Sioux dictionary at Ft. Laramie, an invaluable tool for communication with the native leaders.

Access to the Powder River Basin was an issue in the late spring of 1866. Negotiations where underway for a treaty at Ft. Laramie, which was attended by war chiefs Red Cloud, Standing Elk, Spotted Tail, Dull Knife and other leaders. During the negotiations, a few hundred troops under Col. Henry Carrington arrived at Fort Laramie to build forts along the Bozeman Trail. The arrival of Col. Carrington’s troops meant that the negotiations underway were useless for the Sioux leaders, and that the Bozeman Trail would be opened without agreement of the chiefs. This became the spark that led to Red Cloud’s War, as well as the defeat at Fort Kearny, Wyoming, in December of 1866 of the eighty men under the command of Lieut. Col. William Fetterman.

The documents related to Starring do not say when he might have received the two pectorals, although his knowledge the Lakota language might mean that he was present at the treaty negotiations, both in the early spring or fall of 1866, and may have received the pieces at that time.

Allen Early Childhood Education Northwest Indian College, WA

Many kids on the rez grow up being taught by nonNatives. They don’t have a role model to show them their culture and teach them about their tribe and why these things are important. So a lot of those kids end up in trouble. I know, I was one of them. Now I want to get my degree so I can work with kids and make them excited to stay in school.
