In the web there are at least a couple of photos referred to Old White Bird (with headdress) but unfortunately are not certified. May be that he is present in the group photos of 1877 but the identification is too difficult...

About the image of WHITE BIRD and wife: I don't think he belonged to the famous chief PEOPEO KISKIOK HIHIH of the Lamtama band that fought the Nez Percè war. He was born in 1807 and died in 1892 in Canada. In this photo of 1877 he seems forty years old. It's more likely his nepew. In 1875 Old White Bird replaced the leadership of the other famous chief EAGLE FROM THE LIGHT (TIPIYELEHNE KA AWPO), another great enemy of the Whites, that went to live in Montana with the Shoshone band leaded by chief Eagle Eye. Any info about HUNTS NO MORE brother of Looking Glass?

In a Series Books of Osprey Publishing, an article about LBH tell that LITTLE POWDER was present in the battle leading a small band of 5 men at all. In Astonisher Library there is an interwiew (and photos) of 1920 at LEFT HAND and WATERMAN were the two ancient chief told the name of other three Arapaho warriors present at LBH: YELLOW EAGLE - YELLOW FLY - SAGE (or GREEN GRASS). No mention about LITTLE POWDER. And LEFT HAND told that he was half Cheyenne and half Blackfoot adopted by the Arapaho. In the Oklahoma Historical Society there is a brief bio about LEFT HAND (NIWOT) born in 1840, succeeded to Little Raven as principal chief of Southern Arapaho in 1889 that died at Darlington in June 28, 1911. Watching the photos seems to be the same person. But he died in 1911 or after 1920? Or does it exist a third famous Left Hand? What a mess!

DOHASAN III: born in 1843 in Kata band of Kiowa tribe. Nephew of great chief Dohasan II (painted by Catlin in 1834). He was a noted warrior, often leading war expeditions with his brother Honemida (Charging Man).That he was a man of great courage is attested by the fact that he eloped with Ankima, the wife of Zepkoette (Big Bow), one of the most dangerous warriors in the tribe. Shortly before his death he changed his name to Dánpä′ , shoulder-blade. The younger Dohäsan took part in many important forays and battles staged by the Kiowas. He was part of the delegation to Washington in 1872 and participated in the Lost Valley Fight (July 1874) and the siege of Lyman's wagon train in 12 September 1874. He was among the last of the Kiowa leaders to surrender at the end of the Red River War in February 1875. Afterward, he lived with his family in peace on the reservation near Fort Sill until his death. In 1892 he gave his annual family calendar history, begun by his uncle, to Capt. Hugh L. Scott, who in turn donated it to the Smithsonian Institution. Dohäsan the younger died in 1893.

BLACK HORSE (Mo'kohtavo'ha) He belonged to Northern Shutai band leaded by the Dod Soldier's chief LITTLE BEAR. In 23 april 1875 he fought with honour at "Sappa Creek" (Kansas): the H Company of 6th Calvary commanded by Lieutenant Austin Heneley (40 soldiers) attack the village. It was a massacre: died 2 soldiers (1 sergeant), 19 warriors and 8 women and children. Black Horse was wounded in the side but survived, and in 1876 he also fought at Little Big Horn. He married three times. He died in 1936. A curiosity: Austin Heneley, after the battle, tried to sell to a Cheyenne squaw a warbonnet that belonged to a warrior killed at Sappa Creek. The squaw told him: "it will bring bad luck". One year later, Heneley drowned crossing a river in Arizona..... (source: "Four great rivers to cross" (P. Mendoza) and "The life of George Bent" (G. Hyde)) Other info about this great warrior? I have send a photo of him to Dietmar and I hope he post it.

Watching with attention at the first image posted by Grahamew, the first photo of this chapter is very similar and could be by John Anderson: there is his name printed down. The image of 1870 delegation (Brady?) is wonderful!!!

Hello Gregor, thank you for the additional info. About your first photo (sitting with war bonnet),who is the photographer? I have seen it labelled "L.W. Stillwell" but i don't known him. The wonderful fourth "seppia" photo (standing with bow and arrows) i think is by Zalmon Gilbert.

CRAZY HEAD (Heme'kone Ôhmâsęhanee'ęstse): Northern Cheyenne (O'mi'sis?) father was a Cheyenne, mother a captured Crow. A council of 44 chief. Listed as a war chief at LBH battle and considered the third-ranking Cheyenne in the battle. Wooden Leg called him "the most important tribal big chief". Fought Custer's column and wore a war bonnet. Presence confirmed by Meyers. Still alive in 1908. Gardner, not by chance, photograped him near Spotted Wolf: what a couple of great chiefs! And Gardner has put another great war chief, LAME WHITE MAN, near to OLD WOLF. Hence, I think that this last also was an important chief.

Dietmar, wonderful work! I'm agree: there are no resemblance between Wild Hog (1879) and Wild Hog (1873). It's very probably that the man near Lame White Man is OLD WOLF, that is included in one of your list. I would like to know bio info about CRAZY HEAD and OLD WOLF: they seems to be very important chief.
