Before he got his Christian name, John Other Day was known as Hotonho Waste, Beautiful Voice. In autumn 1852 he was painted by German artist Adolf Hoeffler (1825-1898) from Frankfurt am Main, Germany, who went to the New World in 1848. Hoeffler, who went to the villages near Fort Snelling to get his images, painted two portraits of Good Sounding Voice as a young warrior. As you see below he also painted the likeness of Bad Hail, who was the leading speaker of the Mdewakanton at that time.  Bad Hail (Wasumi chashtashni) & Good Sounding Voice (Hotonho washte), 1852 |
