Thanks for appreciating it, Diane - I was wondering if there's a way to save threads in order to preserve images and avoid to see them "disappearing" due to broken links (as it happened some time ago with the images of the Oglala Lakota College Library) or problems with image hosting websites (my experience with uptiki and imageshack).

Caxton Press has just released : Red was the Blood of Our Forefathers Episodes from Crow Indian Intertribal Warfare by Brian L. Keefe "At a Crow Indian gathering in 1992 in Montana, Brian Keefe, a visitor from England, met Joe Medicine Crow, one of the leaders of that tribe. Keefe returned many times in the years that followed to write down stories told to him by Joe Medicine Crow and other Crow historians. Because a man’s status in his tribe was based on deeds in combat, Crow history revolves around stories of intertribal warfare. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Sioux, Cheyenne, Blackfeet and Shoshoni applied constant pressure in attempts to take over Crow land in the Big Horn and Yellowstone regions of Montana and Wyoming. The conflict ranged from horse-stealing expeditions to battles where the losing group was “rubbed out.”" www.caxtonpress.com/store/redblood.html

I've restored all the image I uploaded on uptiki and posted on this thread - for those in the pre-view mode, just click on the thumbnail to see them in the original format. I'll go on with the other threads in the next days - sorry for being slow, but 870 messages are quite a number to check... nikolay: about the last photograph collage you attached: the man wearing the same headdress worn by White Swan is Curley, not Medicine Crow.

For the reason explained above. And, as said before, it may take a while before they're all restored.

Dietmar, it's just that the image hosting website I used now allows to post images just in thumbnail format (with the possibility of view the image in their real size by clicking on the thumbnail itself). I can see if it's possible to to change the links in the proper form - otherwise, I'll upload them as attachments. It will take a while, of course. Best.

They're Throssel images. even if I'm not sure about seeing them even in the UOW collection, thanks! I'll check them and see if I can provide any identification. Anybody willing to help on this? :-)

The photograph was taken in 1918 during the shooting of a movie called "Before the White Man Came", featuring Apsaalooke natives. The man standing on the left is White Man Runs Him.

This is a Richard Throssel photograph - the man should be Goes Ahead, one of the Custer scouts.

Hi Wyman, don't think these ropes are a kind of restraint - they might have used to keep the blankets in place against a strong wind. Also, their hands and feet aren't bound and, in such condition, being bound like that would have been of little use.

Great image, Jeroen, thanks, even if spectacles didn't improve PC's looks ;-)

Most probably, yes. Left to right: our man, The Wet by Curtis, The Wet by Rinehart. (I've horizontally flipped the two last images, a trick which sometimes makes comparison easier)

No problem on that too. By the way, is there a date for the Big Turkey photograph?
