If you consult the NMNH (Smithsonian) search page and search for "Sitting Bull" it returns 50 or so objects. The SB attribution for most of them seems to derive solely from the donor's assertion. One or two have some thread of probability. And there are a number of other items that take more digging that have good associations with Sitting Bull's followers who surrendered at about the same tie he did in 1881. There is a NW trade gun that has long had an association with SB's people. Decades ago Dr. Ewers published a paper "when Sitting Bull Surrendered His Winchester" in which he concludes that the trade gun could not have belonged to SB because he owned the famous Winchester, and because such an obsolete weapon (which has a lock date of 1875 as I recall) was basically below SB's status. None of which convinces me. fwiw

there is a series of Tonkawa photos, including the"Anderson" one, in the Southern Methodist Univ. archives. The photographer is identified as H. S. Schuster, taken between 1865-72. Perhaps at or near Ft Griffin TX

Is there a way to maintain access to photos that are attached to messages? So many of the images in older posts have disappeared. Thanks

It is a magnificent old shirt. The ROM's web site (Cat. No 955.105) attributes it to S B but provides no other useful information. They also have some moccasins that are similarly attributed.

Thanks for this discussion. So, who was Phillips? Was he there just before Soule or at the same time? If his one photo of the man and the line of women and children represents Washita captives as sometimes captioned. Soul also photographed a group of Washita captives. I can't locate any information on him. thanks

OK--i managed to post a couple of digital copies of the original Red Hawk Ledger drawings from the Milwaukee Museum. One of them even made it twice!
Anyhow you can an idea of what the originals look like as opposed to the Ben Hunt portfolio reproductions ac

All of the Red Hawk drawings that have been shown in this discussion are the plates that were re-drawn by Ben Hunt in the 1930s for the museum. The museum compiled portfolios of these re-drawings and offered them for sale, starting maybe in the late 1950s. Not sure of that date. I still have the set that I bought as a young teenager. The original Red Hawk ledger art is all on lined paper. Ben Hunt omitted the lines when he drew his plates. So any Red Hawk images not on lined paper are copies of the the Ben Hunt reproductions. Ben Hunt did not cover each of the original plates. Or, if he did, they were not included in the portfolios sold by the Museum. Actually he did a very credible job of reproducing the important parts of the Red Hawk drawings.
