Information on the back of the photograph reads: 'Son of A.J. Jewett, whose Father, Mother , Grandfather and Grandmother were massacred at Garden City, Minnesota, 1865. This boy was taken by the heels and his head beaten against a log and left for dead. He was found unconscious by my Uncle, Dr. J.W.B.W., who assisted in doctoring his wounds.' See also this file of the location of the massacre, describing it as follows: "Andrew Jewett's farm, where his Father and Mother, himself and wife and young Tyler were massacred by the Indians at the Garden City, 1865.
