I'm sorry about that, Lincoln. I just purchased additional storage, so we now have more than twice what we had. Please try to post your attachment again.
Those who have access to servers can help preserve space on this forum by linking to photos rather than inserting them.
Thanks!
Diane

P.S.S. How does one advance to the next level as far as status ? I've been a Junior Member for ever ! LOL You are almost at the next level. Several more posts will put you into three digits, but it will take a long time before you progress from there!

"The Death Song of Lone Wolf" by Charles Russell is at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. I have received an inquiry about the subject of the painting. My understanding is that Lone Wolf is the artist's interpretation of a warrior singing his death song. Has anyone found evidence that the painting is based on an actual person? Link to painting: www.flickr.com/photos/91590072@N04/11199374126/The man at the left of the painting, running alongside a horse, is likely of the Crow or Assiniboine tribes. The shield in the forefront with a thunderbird above a four-pointed form has been identified and belonged to a man called Swift Dog (1834-1925).

Please help this website visitor if you can: I am writing you to find out more information regarding Dull Knife and his family. According to my great-grandmother "Juanita Booth," her English given maiden name, is that Chief Morning Star of the Cheyenne was her father. I would appreciate any information that can help prove my family lineage. I do believe that my grandmother was born in Oklahoma, separated herself from the tribe, and then later on married my great-grandfather, Ernest Goad. As I mentioned, any information or direction that I can go would be helpful.

Harvard has placed two albums of photos online. The albums came from one part of the U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories, a report of four Lewis and Clark-like expeditions undertaken from 1860 to 1878. The limited-edition volumes were compiled on orders from survey leader Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, a physician turned geologist whose energetic ways earned him the Indian name Man Who Picks Up Stones Running.
In a prefatory note to the albums, Hayden called the images “faithful sun pictures” of 25 tribes over 25 years, and he mourned their loss and alteration to the reservation system. “The value of such a graphic record of the past increases year by year,” he presciently wrote.
About a fifth of the album photographs were drawn from images already possessed by the federal government, including daguerreotypes that had to be rephotographed for display. Most came from the collection of English philanthropist William Blackmore. A fraction came from Hayden’s survey photographers, including William Henry Jackson (1843-1942), who assembled the album.
