I start this thread in the Oglala section although from the name he bears Yankton Charlie seems to have other roots. Yankton Charlie was a well known character on the Pine Ridge reservation and involved in the killing of Crazy Horse. He later toured with Buffalo Bill Cody. What else is known about him?

A pair of his leggings are in Kelvingrove museum, Glasgow - part of the collection bought from George Crager when he was with the Wild West Show, I assume.

Plenty Wolves aka Yankton Charlie has been mentioned several times at our site. Some of his portraits are also in this thread: amertribes.proboards.com/thread/656/yankton-charlieLast week I´ve seen a photograph offered at Ebay, titled "Circa 1870's Cabinet Card Native American INDIAN POLICE with Marshal". I believe the Indian on left is the same Yankton Charlie. I don´t know who the white man is though.   |

I reckon that's him, though I'm guessing the date is a little later.
By the way, do you know the photographer for the first image?
