There is also an autobiography of White Bull, told to and translated by James H Howard. The paragraphs are in Lakota with English translation. There are many of his pictographs, including the Rosebud and Little Big Horn fights. The title is Lakota Warrior.

lowdog. I have been trying for a long time to find a biography of Lame Deer without success. I know he was a signatory at a treaty signing at Fort Sully, Dakota Territory in October, 1865, but don't know if any photographs were taken,

I think "Land of the Spotted Eagle" by Luther Standing Bear is an excellent reference concerning Lakota society, customs and spirituality.

Thanks again,friend. The reason I am so interested is that he was one of the last "hold-outs"preferring to live the old free way of life rather than be confined to a reservation. He must have been a figure of great respect to persuade others to stay out with him. It would be very interesting to see just what kind of man he was.

I have already sent a parcel of clothing to the Sioux Nation Relief Fund. I hope it helps a little.

I have read the book you mention, crawman. He doesn't say much about his grandfather. There is a novel by Terry C Johnston called Ashes of Heaven which gives an account of Lame Deers' fight and death but like most novels it's probably mostly conjecture. I'll keep looking. Thanks for that anyway, mikola.

I have been trying without success to find a biography of Lame Deer, who was killed by Nelson Miles' troops in 1877. Can anyone tell me of his life?
