Stereo of Fred Loring. He was an American journalist, novelist, and poet. He died in 1871. In 1871 he was sent by the "Appleton's Journal" as a correspondent on a cartographic expedition To Arizona.  He wrote several articles. He was also involved in several fights with Indians. The expedition's carriage was attacked by Yavapai Indians near Wickenburg, A.T. and he was killed. The stereo was taken 48 hours before he was killed by photographer O'Sullivan .  The mule's name was "Evil Merodach". It is a very rare stereo and does not have the photographer's mark. Condition is wonderful.
