Peter--(BTW, is this Peter G??) There is only one portfolio set from MPM as far as I know. The portfolio that the Museum sold does NOT include all of the pages of the original ledger. There are far more in the ledger than in the portfolio.
And I have not posted any of the portfolio drawings. If I could figure out how to post images to this site I would post a few of the original pages so that folks could see what they look like.
I certainly can't advise you about copyright.

I just got Paul's new book yesterday. Recommend it highly. Lots of Blackfoot history and some good photos you will likely not have seen before ac

The clothing looks Sioux to me. The large breastplate necklaces and cloth & shell dresses. The mocs in front look Sioux. Almont

In either event, this man is not a Lakota Blackfoot, but a Blood or Piegan Blackfoot. It is a well known image. almont.

Yes--I've found so much sadness in the story of the Hornaday buffalo hunt since first hearing of it. almont

Possibly related information: If you Google "hornaday buffalo" you can find some information on Hornaday's 1886 expedition to eastern Montana to collect buffalo specimens for the Smithsonian before the species went extinct. He mounted a good-sized effort with wagons and guns and scoured the area for quite a while before finding a small herd of 24 I think, and killing them all. But that was all he found. 1886. So, there was clearly not much out there to hunt on a tribal scale at that time.
A few of the Hornaday animals' remains were taken to the Smithsonian where they were mounted and displayed for a long time and then put into storage, I think in the mid-1950s. In the 1990s they were re-discovered, the mounts were conserved and they are now on display at the agricultural museum in Ft. Benton, MT.

The man in the hat has been identified in other photos as George Reynolds. The seated man is probably Wild Hog, the Cheyenne, and the woman and child are probably his family. Wild Hog was one of the Cheyenne men who were tried for murder in Kansas based upon fighting that happened as the Cheyenne people fled north from Indian Territory. While the men were imprisoned in Kansas they were eventually allowed to have their families with them and this photo probably reflects that. almont
