thanks jinlian, that's fantastic. Do we have anything else on Sits on edge of fortification? Also the Crow form of his name? Are you in touch with Joe Medicine Crow at all? Kingsley, I sent you a PM on that.

Kingsley - here's your man. From a paper on Crow treaties and laws by Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow: "These men have represented the Crows at the 1851 Treaty: "Big Shadow"- so named became he was a huge man casting a big shadow. He was a chief, an ancestor of Frank Shivley. "Sits-on-edge-of fortification" (The first) - was regarded as an eccentric but would make good prophecies."

Henri has reported about some nice images of Crow Indians now on sale at e-bay. All of them are labeled as Dixon images for Wanamaker (1909) Thanks, Henri! Hairy Moccasin Attachments:

I somehow doubt (unless he had another name) that this was Mountain Tail, who also signed the 1868 F. Laramie treaty, where his name was transcripted as "AH-BE-CHE-SE" (see. J. Medicine Crow, "A Handbook of Crow Indian Laws and Treaties"). Dr. Ferdinand Hayden, who in 1871 led a geological survey, met chief Mountain Tail and gave his name as "Au-ma-ha-be-ci-se". In the 1873 agreement between the Crow and the US government, we found the signature of "Old Mountain Tail" whose Native name is given as "A-mak-ha-vissish.". In his Crow word lists, Robert H. Lowie had also the name "Mountain Tail", transliterated as "Awaxa-we-tsi-esh". Condisidering that the Crow word for "mountain" is "awaxaawé", the above transilterations seem to be close enough to the actual Apsàalooke word.
On the other hand, "Doh-chepit-seh-chi-es" seems to be a wholly different name - I have an idea about it, but have to check some material before saying anything.
