Grahamew -- the "Young Spotted Tail" label could be confusing. It's not "Spotted Tail, the Chief, when he was young." It's his son, "Spotted Tail Jr., also known as Young Spotted Tail." The label is correct, but may be misinterpreted by some people.

I had 3 personal copies of "Sioux Memory Gems", all signed by Myrtle Anderson. One copy was once owned by a Rosebud Tribal member and had several tribal names inscribed. I donated that one to the Sinte Gleska Heritage Center (which is what you should consider if you're going to donate anything - email me for the contact.) The book is rare, but not THAT rare.
I purchased each of mine for research for around $50 each. I'm sorry for your financial hardship, but this book isn't the way out.

If you haven't already, I suggest you start with Nathaniel Philbrick's book "Mayflower." It's non-fiction and has great detail about New England tribes at that time. Also, get the "Handbook of North American Indians : Northeast Vol.15". More detail. I would also review that series for the Southwest (vol 10.)

You wouldn't want actual facts to get in the way of promoting a traveling tour in the 1880-1890's. Especially if you were trying to sell a lot of books (Newell.)

Dietmar -- thanks! Could you email those files so I can look more closely (the 2 delegation photos and the half tone above)? Do you have the source information?

Dietmar: I mean the photo in reply #34 (looks like a half-tone sepia) -- I have a hi-res version of the photo in #32. Thanks!

Dietmar -- I don't believe the man in the photo above is William. The man has none of the facial characteristics of William in photos throughout his life (see e.g. #15 in this thread -- William died in 1931 and the top photo was taken close to that time.) This man looks closer to He Dog, although he died in 1927 and was quite wrinkled. I'll look through other photos to try and find a match, but I doubt it's William. What is the source?

Thanks, Dietmar, for posting these again. Since Poor Dog was identified as the man in the mis-labeled photo I've left comments whenever I see the photo on the web. Who knows if it will ever be corrected. I first found the top photo several years ago at NAA is Washington D.C. I've told Paula Fleming (now retired) about the mis-ID, but there's no one left at NAA to note the wrong ID! The problem is that once mid-identified, the error compounds and I wouldn't be surprised to see the photo in some future book. This site at American-Tribes is the only true protector of valid ID's that I know of! Keep up the good work!
(A side note -- I just discovered that the "Quick Reply" box doesn't appear on my iPad -- must be Flash!)

I've searched, but can't find how to obtain this publication. Does anyone have a link?

A descendant of Shooting Cat whom I recently met on other boards, who looked through this site, says the photo of Shooting Cat above doesn't resemble the Shooting Cat in a photo she obtained from the Chicago Fields. Here's her photo of Shooting Cat: Comments?

Dietmar: Many thanks. Studying very carefully the order the people are listed vs. the labels on the photo, I think Hattie/Rose and Hope/Winnie should be reversed. What do you think?

Dietmar -- Do you remember in what Beinecke Library collection you saw the ID's for the 1879 Carlisle girls? I have several copies of Pratt's documents from the collection and thought I might locate the original.

#24 -- Pollock Spotted Tail, was, of course, a son of Spotted Tail at Carlisle along with William, Max, and Oliver. I don't think that's him in the photo In the boys' photo, the ID's are left to right, regardless of sitting, standing, or row. It's probably similar for the girls, but the last 3 next to Charlie Tackett on the right are almost in a vertical line, making it difficult unless there's a clear ID on one or two of the girls. "Sarah Tackett" -- that's Spotted Tail's daughter "Red Road" -- I've never seen her as Sarah before.
