Unidentified Kiowa

A couple of Kiowa images I've come across.

The first is Guitain, Lone Wolf's nephew, though it's from a different angle to the photo I'm familiar with in Plains Indian Raiders:



I have no idea who the second man is, though he wears a Jeff Davis hat with infantry insignia - the kind doled out to Indians and seemingly especially popular on the southern Plains (see the Soule photo of Bird Chief, for example), especially during the 1860s when modified army clothing seemed to be de rigueur - and as you can see, he also wears an officer's jacket.



I'm assuming it's a Soule, but I suppose it could be by Bliss

Grahame,

I have the second photo as Asa Loit, Comanche Chief, Wichita Agency Indian Territory by Cosand & Mosser.

Thanks. I've seen that now, though I wonder if it's been mis-labelled because it doesn't resemble the other Cosand and Mosser pictures - and there are several incorrectly attributed..
