These two photos are mislabeled--You can see the correct names on the upper left corner (albeit backwards)...The names were just transposed from one another-

White Ghost (Sicangu) 1880



Buffalo Bull's Ghost (Sicangu) 1884



And Thanx to whoever posted the link to the book-Kaleidoscopic Lives...In it There is Mention of Opawinge (Hundred) His Photograph is on the Blue Cloud Abbey Website Here:

www.usgs.gov/features/native_americans.html

also mentioned is Scout Frank Grouard Here is a Book about him:

As far as I know, Little Wound and No Flesh were Oglala, not Sicangu.

[kingsleybray]

The No Flesh photos were taken in 1872, when he was part of the delegation from Whetstone (later Spotted Tail) Agency,i.e. the Brule agency. His band shifted between the Oglalas and Brules at this period. Ultimately he settled at Pine Ridge.

Little Wound was Oglala.

Also Bull's Ghost and White Ghost are Lower Yanktonai (Hunkpatina), from the Crow Creek Agency.

One of the photo's captioned Iron Shell (the one taken by John Anderson) is of Iron Shell the younger, the son and namesake of the old chief Iron Shell. In other words he was the brother of Hollow Horn Bear.

Just trying to make a fantastic display of photo's even better - thanks Hin!

Thanks for the clarifications.

The picture with
Reuben Estes, Henry Leeds, Big Man (Sicangu) 1913

The man in the middle named Henry Leeds married my great great grandma Tacunku Cante Win, he was her last husband.

Her first husband was Alergnon Smith from Fort Rice.

I've seen the Charging Hawk with the fur cap labelled as an Osage, but isn't he an Arikara?

LaDonna,

Algernon Emory Smith, the lieutenant killed at Little Bighorn? Did she have any children with Smith?

The more I learn about you, the more interesting you get!

Alergnon D. Smith married my great great grandma Tacanku Cante Win was from Fort Rice. i was surprised to find out that there were two Algernon Smith in the same area at the same time. Algernon E. Smith died in 1876 and Algernon D. Smith died in 1879.
I have been looking for more information on both Alergnon's.
Anyway Tacanku cante Win had two daughters, one died at birth and was buried at Fort Rice and the other was Mary Smith or Waschu Win. Mary Smith is my great grandma. I have her picture.

[Diane Merkel]

Thanks, LaDonna. That clarifies things. If I come across any information about your Algernon Smith, I'll let you know.

Great to see such a large version of this. Thanks for posting it. We had a threat about it and a related painting some time back: amertribes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=artists&action=display&thread=19

Unfortunately, the painting's disappeared; I guess I didn't put it on a host site. I'll see if I can find a copy on the net.

Here we go:

And I've just restored the painting to the original post.
