While I was looking for Goff photos of Arikaras, I came across these:
Little Brave, killed at Little Bighorn
Unidentified (note his exploit marks, which have been highlighted in colour), Big John aka Big Horse(?) or Bull Head(?), Antelope/Iron Horse.
The photo is also interesting because it fits with the idea Carlo expressed on the Goff thread that sabres were seen as some kind of status symbol
The only other photo I've come across with this backdrop is this one of Yellowstone Kelly:
Though it's possibly on this one of Kelly too:
If so, there's an interesting note on the back:
That's quite an elaborate backdrop when compared to the bulk of the Goff or Morrow photos taken in that area and in the same period - and those two would have been my prime suspects.
