Here's a photo I've seen identified only as "Lakota Medicine Man" or "Sioux Medicine Man." Any help? Attachments:

This is a photo of Chief Turtle. I don't question the identification, but I'd love to get a much larger version with higher resolution. Does anybody have one? Attachments:

# 1 is Whirl*WIND* Horse, "Tasonke Wyammiyommi', or at least that's how it is identified on the original prints from 1913. It is #W3717 in the Wanamaker Collection at the Mathers Museum, Indiana University. It was taken by Joseph Dixon (or one of his staff) on the "Wanamaker Citizenship Expedition." While most of Dixon's original materials. prints and negatives, are at the Mathers, the original glass negatives from1913 are at the American Museum in New York.
See p 168-169 of my book, North American Indian Portraits: Photographs from the Wanamaker Expeditions", NY: Konecky (1996).

Tkavanaugh; Thanks very much. I just bought your book from Amazon. Had no idea there was a book about the Wanamaker expedition. Eagerly awaiting it.
BTW, has anyone ever put out a book of photos by Herman Heyn? I first saw his work about 20 years ago. I was in the Library of Congress, going through box after box of photos of Indians, looking for some good ones to use as the basis for a drawing or three and I opened the box of his stuff and went nuts. I had a research librarian do a photo search in the LOC database and she found only one photo ever in print anywhere attributed to Heyn. Now, with the Internet, I know a lot more people know about him, but I think it would still make quite a nice book.
If anyone's interested, here's the drawing I did of Last Horse.

Here's Shot In The Eye. My understanding is (and anyone is welcome to correct me if I get anything wrong here) Heyn had a studio in Omaha in the late 1890's, and shot pictures of Indians on the nearby reservation. The Indians he photographed were performers in one of the big Wild West shows. I believe it was Pawnee Bill's. Shot in the Eye was so-named because, obviously, he was shot in the eye. What makes him more interesting is that he was shot in the eye in the battle of the Little Bighorn. Attachments:
