EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Thomas Montague Gunter, a prominent figure in 19th-century America. The image, taken between 1865 and 1880 by an unknown photographer, captures Gunter's commanding presence as a politician, lawyer, and soldier. Gunter served as the colonel of the Thirteenth Regiment, Arkansas Volunteers in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. Known for his involvement with the forced settlement of Native American tribes, Gunter believed that their relocation to Indian Territory had resulted in their successful assimilation into "civilized tribes". His controversial views on colonialism and oppression shaped his political career. With a distinguished beard adorning his face, Gunter exudes authority and determination. This portrait photograph is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed at the Library of Congress. Mathew B. Brady or one of his associates likely captured this powerful image during this era when photography was gaining popularity. The photo serves as a reminder of an influential man who left an indelible mark on American history through his roles as a lawmaker and advocate for colonization policies. It offers us a glimpse into the past – an era defined by political turmoil and societal transformation – while also prompting reflection on complex issues surrounding power dynamics and cultural assimilation that persist to this day.
