Stereoview of the 1863 visit of an Indian Delegation to the President's Summer House, Washington. New York: E. & H. T. Anthony & Co., photographer's b/m.
Image features a group of Native Americans along the bottom row, from left to right: Standing in Water, War Bonnet, and Lean Bear, Cheyenne; and Yellow Wolf, Kiowa. No. 2734 also includes a number of other unidentified Native American subjects accompanied by their interpreter, John Smith, posed at the left of the top row.
This summit was set in the midst of the Civil War, and the delegation met with President Lincoln, who hoped to not only secure peaceful relations with his guests, but also to persuade them not to join the Confederate forces. 

Within 18 months of the historic meeting, each of the subjects seated in the front row were dead. Yellow Wolf died of pneumonia days after this series was taken and was buried in Congressional Cemetery. War Bonnet and Standing in Water were killed by the Colorado Territory Militia in the Sand Creek Massacre on 29 November 1864. Lean Bear, mistaken for a hostile, was killed by the same militia on 16 May 1864, though he protested that he had “visited the home of the white Father.” 
Wear as shown in the photographs.

"Kiowa Chief Yellow Wolf shook hands with President Abraham Lincoln, only to be struck down by pneumonia a week later. He was buried with a peace medal given his ancestors by Thomas Jefferson."
