An Interesting Profile Of The Late Marguerite Fowler La Porte
Type: Photograph
The reverse reads:
"The strong features of the full blood type of Montauk are evident in the face of Marguerite Fowler La Porte. This photo of her was taken on the back porch of her home in Freetown, a hamlet in East Hampton to which the Indians were moved from Montauk in 1875.
Compare this photo of her to those taken when she was a girl for an interesting contrast. See Photos 4 and 11 in this Set. In Photo 13, Set 1 there is a very good front face photo of Mrs. La Porte."

Type: Photograph
The reverse reads:
"In Set No. 1 in photo 10, Harriet Joseph and her husband Vincent also appear but in that photo both were in Sunday attire. Harriet Joseph was an Indian of one of the New England tribes, possibly Mohegan or Wampanoag. She was the niece of Captain Samuel Butler who married Olive Fowler of the Montauks.
The couple made their home on Shelter Island which is rendered in the Montauk dialect as Manhansett-ahaoquahs a wanuck (Island Sheltered by Islands)."
