In the book The June Rise, an entry of a Cheyenne Chief having a daughter named Bright Star and Bright Star having a son (I think named, Two Bulls). Bright star became the second wife of Antoine Joseph Janis ensuring that First Elk Woman would always be his "sits by him wife"
I am seeking some fact to verify this. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Top and bottom photos are of the son YOUNG Bull Bear. It is Richard Davis and his BROTHER Young Bull Bear, although since his father had passed he was then known as Bull Bear. Old Man Bull Bear passed around 1898. The son pass in 1912, buried in Kingfisher Cemetery, OK. The photo of the two BROTHERS was taken at the St. Louis Exposition of 1904. The Field Museum of Chicago holds the original negative.

gmslaughter,
welcome to the boards and thank you for the correction. Now that you say it, it seems obvious that he can´t be the chief Bull Bear of 1864.
I modified the posts above.
Best wishes
Dietmar

W F Hynes in his book 'Soldiers of the Frontier' recalls meeting Bull Bear and 150 warriors near the forks of the Republican in 1866.He was a Trooper with E Co 2nd Cavalry en route to Fort Laramie under a Major Peal.In response to Peal's comment to Bull Bear 'buffalo won't fight' the Chief set up a fight between a bull buffalo and two warriors,one apparently a son of his,dramatically described by Hynes.
