I am interested in the history of Native American relations with the United States on the western frontier, particularly from the perspective of ethnohistory (the use of historical documents to understand culture). Having grown up in northwestern Nebraska, just south of the Black Hills, I have a long interest in the history of the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne; and as a recent transplant to Utah, I am becoming increasingly interested in the Shoshone. I am also intrigued with nineteenth century Indian photographs and reservation census records, certain that they have much yet to tell us about past native communities.
I am the curator at the Fort Douglas Museum. I can be contacted at: Ephriam D. Dickson III, Fort Douglas Museum, 32 Potter Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84113. My email is: ephriam3 at yahoo dot com
