Biography
In the summer of 1976, before enrolling as a student at San Joaquin Delta Community
College (Stockton, Calif.), Elizabeth Ceniceros served as a YMCA worker at White Horse
Sioux Reservation, S.D. There she kept a journal and audiotaped five interviews with
Dakota Sioux. [Ms2.C395]
Joseph G. Doty was an agent for the American Turquoise Co. of NY (1897-1900). In the
course of buying trips in Kingman (Ariz.) and Los Cerrillos (N.M.) Doty sent the nine
letters in this collection to his young daughters Hazel and Dorothy in Wyoming, N.J.. The
letters include descriptions of the terrain around the Aztec Turquoise Mine near Kingman
and of a Wallapai Indian work crew there. [Ms2.D725]
Margaret Sinclair was a collector of Indian artifacts. She received both letters in this
collection in conjunction with the purchase of a pair of Paiute Indian gloves (1940). One
of the letters, from a dealer in Ute Indian leather goods, tells Sinclair how her gloves
were made. The other letter, from the husband of the woman who made Sinclair's gloves, is
a thank-you note for the purchase. [Ms2.S616]
Rev. Francis Stanley was a historian and author of numerous books on Texas and New Mexico
history, including: The Jicarillo Apaches of New Mexico (1967). This collection consists
of eight letters from Stanley to New Jersey book dealer, William Kelleher, regarding
Stanley's research on Pie Grande (Big Foot), a Texas Indian legend. [Ms2.S787]
