William Sitting Bull (Runs-away-from-him/Nakicipa)

[Dietmar]

Funny as it goes... I guess I`ve had this scan on my hard-drive for at least a dozen of years... until I realized yesterday that the unidentified man is William Sitting Bull!:





photo taken by Oxford & Dillhoff, Brooklyn, New York in May 1902

William was one of the main performers in Buffalo Bill´s Wild West in 1902, among Iron Tail, Tom American Horse and Joe Black Fox. There are about 20 or more pictures taken by Oxford & Dillhoff of that particular tour. Copies are at Yale University (Beinecke Library) and Library of Congress, but they are not online yet.

that's a wonderful discovery Dietmar - there are probably more images out there just waiting to be discovered. It would be interesting to see the other images in this particular collection archives.yale.edu/agents/people/89465
