Peter,
First our thanks to almont for the clarification on the reproductions sold at one time by the Milwaukee museum and the original ledger pages. The drawing I found in Phoenix was in fact NOT an original drawing but one of the reproductions. The difference is the reproductions were printed on unlined paper.
Suggest you contact the museum directly as to ownership, copyright, use, reproduction, etc.
I am on a research trip at the moment and will compare the copies for sale versus the images already posted on this thread when done. I think most if not all of them are posted but can't say for sure.
Regards, Rod Thomas...

Eric, thanks and so far I've run out of sources past the last one noted in 1902. I'm focused at the moment on finishing up the White Swan biography manuscript and the Lame White Man question is at the top of the list of things to get back into when the book is done.
Hope all is well and please have a great day!
Regards, Rod...

Thanks!...will contact them as well...oddly enough am reading John Monnett's new book Eyewitness to the Fetterman Fight. Highly recommend it - first class primary source research and analysis that is John's forte.

Could you send me a high resolution file or let me know where I can ask for one? I saved the image but as soon as I enlarge one click it pixelates! I agree - 1860s-1870s - Thanks!
Regards, Rod

He actually painted three muslin depictions of the battle. Two are on display and the third - a large work - is in storage. All three are in my book Rubbing Out Long Hair as well as descriptions and some information on the artist.

Beautiful image! Any clue about the identity of the white fellow on the far right? I believe it is Thomas Leforge. Regards, Rod...

Just got the word the Army has decided that the DAPL will NOT cross! The Standing Rock People, especially the Water Protectors, stood strong.

White Swan's combat record as a Crow warrior happened between 1870, his first, and 1880, his last. His service as an Army scout was, off and on, from 1876 until his final mustering out in 1881. He felt his coups earned on June 25, 1876 were his greatest although some Crow narratives thought earlier actions were more noteworthy. He depicted all of them in traditional Plains warrior biographic style. I've been able to personally see half his works and the power of his deeds lives on in them all. His artistic "career" spanned 1876 to 1903 or 1904.
"White Swan was in the valley standing beside his horse and firing at the Sioux. He would not mount up to try to get away, but stood and fought." Private August Seifert, Company K, Seventh U.S. Cavalry Regiment, regarding the battle of the Little Big Horn River in June 1876.
I'll cross-post to the Crow boards once I figure out how to do that...
Warm regards, Rod...

Eric, thanks and welcome to the group. Yes, the society is correct and not in doubt. What is being researched is the story that said he wore a blue coat when killed. That contradicts all verified Cheyenne narrative tradition. The story, no known attribution or source other than being printed in early papers, has now been found in a newspaper in 1902, pushing the initial publication back three years. Interestingly enough, no attribution or source is given in that version. We'll keep looking as new sources become available all the time.
Thanks again and welcome again...
Regards, Rod...
