There will be a new book on Plenty Horses out in April 2018: "A Man Called Plenty Horses: The Last Warrior Of The Great Plains War" by Alan R. Hall (Author) This book received a negative review in the English Westerners' Society Tally Sheet, Autumn / Winter 2020. I went ahead and bought it anyway but from a cursory glance, that was a mistake. Apparently Plenty Horses was snapped up by Buffalo Bill, on the strength of his notoriety, and appeared with the Wild West company in Chicago in 1893. That's what interests me but there doesn't seem to be anything in Hall's book about that.

It does look like him, but at least ten years older than the images we're familiar with - maybe more...

At Heritage Auctions and entitled Wounded Knee: A Group of Sioux Warriors Including Plenty Horses, Who Killed Lieutenant Casey at the Infamous Engagement, I suspect the labelling has been used to sell the image because he clearly isn't here: This would appear to be an Oglala group; the man in the white blanket and shirt and holding the hat is (Dick) Spotted Elk. He's also supposed to be on this photograph - or perhaps it's another Plenty Horses: Doubtful, I think.

From the Plenty Horses trial, another Butterfield photo, showing White Moon and Rock Road: Two photos of Plenty Horses under arrest - we've had these before, but not at this quality:
