interesting ... always find something new among the Stanley Vestal papers - this one is a letter he wrote to Joe Balmer of Zurich, Switzerland (a legendary self taught expert on anything about the Plains Indians)

Particularly of interest is Vestal's comment about a photograph reproduced in LIFE MAGAZINE some years prior to 1957 - showing Custer standing on a veranda and somewhere behind him a Lakota man that greatly resembled Sitting Bull ... anyone familiar with this ? It would take some considerable researching to pinpoint this article and image.
