Young Fire Heart

I received the following images from a website visitor:

I recently purchased these photographs from a local estate and thought you would enjoy them. As you can see the photographer identified the Indian as Young Fire Heart and Standing Rock, SD. Any information you might have on him would be appreciated. Was he at Custer's Last Stand? Also, wondering if you know who the cowboy is? Thanks.

My references don't show him at Little Big Horn. If you can help him, please reply.

Wow,

what a wonderful photograph, Diane. I don´t think it has been published before.

We have a thread on Fire Heart and his son here:

Until now, we only had pictures of Fire Heart Jr. in group photographs.

The photo of Young Fire Heart looks like it's by James Lucas
