RICHARD HENRY PRATT (1840-1924)
Richard Henry Pratt devoted his life to public service, beginning as a soldier in the Civil War and later fighting Indians on the
frontier. It was on the frontier that Pratt came in contact with the American Indian and began developing the theories that
were to guide him throughout his life.
It was Pratt's belief that the American Indian, although leading a savage and uncivilized life, was fully capable of being
educated and absorbed into American society. Pratt gained support for this view when he commanded a group of seventytwo Indian prisoners at St. Augustine, Florida, in 1875. Through education and humane treatment, Pratt believed that even
the most "savage" of Indians might become educated and law abiding citizens.
Pratt's efforts resulted in the founding of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in 1879. As head
of the school, Pratt stressed both academic and industrial education. He believed that if the Indian was to claim his rightful
place as an American citizen, he must renounce his tribal way of life, abandon the reservation, and seek education and
employment among the "best classes" of Americans.
During his superintendency of the Carlisle School, Pratt became an outspoken opponent of tribal segregation on
reservations. He believed that this system as administered and encouraged by the Indian Bureau was hindering the
education and civilization of the Indian and creating helpless wards of the state. These views inevitably led to conflicts with
the Indian Bureau and the government officials who supported the reservation system. Long standing animosities came
to a head in May of 1904 when Pratt strongly denounced the Indian Bureau and the reservation system as a hindrance to
the civilization and assimilation of the Indian. This controversy, coupled with earlier disputes with the government over civil
service reform, led to Pratt's forced retirement as superintendent of the Carlisle School in 1904. This did not, however, end
Pratt's long career as a crusader for Indian causes. A tireless speaker and letter writer, he waged a vigorous campaign for
the fair and humane treatment of the American Indian until his death in 1924.
Description of the Papers
The papers of Richard Henry Pratt provide valuable information on the still controversial question of the proper treatment of
the American Indian. The papers span Pratt's long career as an Army officer, educator, and crusader for Indian causes.
Richard Henry Pratt papers
WA MSS S-1174 - Page 6
The papers are divided into six series. Series I, General Correspondence and Official Papers (p. 7)consists of official
Army papers as well as Pratt's incoming and outgoing letters. Pratt made copies of most of his letters. These copies, either
carbons, drafts, or volumes of letterpress impressions, are filed chronologically as Outgoing Letters and provide a very
complete record of his letter writing. Incoming Letters are arranged alphabetically by author.
The main subject of Pratt's correspondence until 1904 was the founding and administration of the Carlisle Indian Industrial
School. His correspondence reveals Pratt's efforts to gain support for the school from Indians, the government, and private
donors as well as the day to day difficulties in the actual management of the school. In addition, there is correspondence with
former Indian students like Howard E. Gansworth, Dr. Carlos Montezuma, and Chauncey Yellow Robe on the position and
problems of Indians in America.
Pratt corresponded with many prominent Americans interested in the plight of the Indian. These correspondents include:
Lyman Abbott (10 items), Samuel C. Armstrong (101 items), Spencer F. Baird (21 items), Rudolph Blankenburg (14 items),
James W. Champney (18 items), Clara B. Colby (2 items), Henry L. Dawes (31 items), W. Maslin Frysinger (22 items),
Henry G. Ganns (39 items), Howard E. Gansworth (22 items), Franklin K. Lane (18 items), John D. Miles (145 items), Carlos
Montezuma (122 items), Knute Nelson (34 items), Arthur C. Parker (45 items), Carl Schurz (12 items), and Cato Sells (13
items).
Official Papers contains material on Pratt's early Army career and his experiences with Indian prisoners at St. Augustine. This
section contains reports, orders, official correspondence and communications. Information about Pratt's early experiments
with Indian education and on the establishment of the Carlisle School may also be found here.
Series II, Family Correspondence (p. 30), contains Pratt's letters to and from members of his family. Also included in this
series is the correspondence of his daughter, Nana Pratt Hawkins; his wife, Anna Laura Pratt; his son, Mason Delano Pratt;
his grandson, R. H. Pratt, II; his granddaughter, Sarah Pratt; his son-in-law, Guy LeRoy Stevick; and his daughter, Marion
Pratt Stevick. Of special interest is Pratt's correspondence with his wife about his experiences with Indians while serving in
the Army and about the founding of the Carlisle School. The correspondence of Pratt's children details their futile efforts to
have Pratt's autobiographical work published after his death. Correspondence between Pratt's children and Elaine Goodale
Eastman, author of Pratt: The Red Man's Moses, reveal the preparation of and reaction to this biography.
The correspondence of Mason D. Pratt offers some insight into Pratt's experiences at St. Augustine, Florida. Details about
Pratt's role in the Sioux Commission of 1888 are found in the correspondence of his son-in-law, Guy LeRoy Stevick.
The third series,Addresses, Diaries, Writings, and Notes (p. 37), contains copies of articles and addresses by Pratt which
provide a good source for Pratt's beliefs on Indian education and civilization. In addition, there are several versions of Pratt's
autobiographical work and also four diaries which recount Pratt's activities during the Civil War.
Series IV, Photographs and Drawings (p. 41), contains numerous photographs of the facilities and students of the Carlisle
Indian Industrial School. There are also a large number of photographs of Pratt. Other subjects include the Indian prisoners
of St. Augustine and Fort Marion, their place of confinement. Of special interest are the "before and after" pictures of many
Indians that contrast their "savage" appearance upon arrival at the Carlisle School with the "civilized" appearance after
receiving the benefits of an education. There are negatives for many of the photographs in this series. Contact prints have
been made for the glass plate negatives, and the originals have been placed in Restricted Fragile, where they may be
consulted only with the approval of the appropriate curator.
This series also includes many drawings made by Indians at St. Augustine and Carlisle. These drawings are of interest not
only because of their artistic merit, but because of what they reveal about the Indian's way of life and his perception of the
changing world. A series of drawings by a Kiowa Indian, Etahdleuh Doanmoe, relate in pictorial form his journey from the
plains to imprisonment in St. Augustine and his experiences in captivity.
Series V, Clippings, Scrapbooks, and Miscellaneous Publications (p. 44), contains a large amount of newspaper clippings,
both loose and in scrapbooks, that chronicle Pratt's activities from the St. Augustine days to the end of his career. Two
scrapbooks in this series are devoted to press reactions to the Sioux Commission of 1888 of which Pratt was a member.
The sixth series, Special Files (p. 46), contains assorted biographical materials about Pratt and miscellaneous materials
on the Carlisle Indian Industrial School.

Series III. Addresses, Diaries, Writings, and Notes
1862-1953
4 boxes
This series contains addresses, articles, and notes written by Pratt. In addition
there is a diary kept by Pratt during the Civil War and several versions of an
autobiographical work that Pratt wrote in his later years. Two drafts of this manuscript
are filed under Pratt's working title, The Indian No Problem. Fragments of a later
version with a foreword and conclusion written by Pratt's widow are filed under her
title, Indian Trails. A revised and edited version of Pratt's manuscript was published
in 1964 under the title Battlefield and Classroom. A galley proof of this manuscript is
also included in this series. Addresses given by Pratt are arranged in chronological
order. Title or subject is noted along with place of delivery if known. Copies of nine
articles by Pratt are also included in this series. Not all of these reminiscences
or statements were written for publication. Finally, there are several folders of
miscellaneous notes and writings by members of Pratt's family.

Complete and exact identification of individuals, buildings and scenes in the
photographs in this series was not possible. The photographs have therefore been
grouped together in a general subject arrangement. There are cut film negatives for
many of the photographs in this series. These negatives are also arranged by subject
and are filed after the photographs. Contact prints have been made for the glass
plate negatives, and the originals have been placed in Restricted Fragile, where they
may be consulted only with the approval of the appropriate curator. This series also
contains several sketchbooks of drawings made by Indian prisoners at St. Augustine,
Florida, and Indian students at Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
