How can we access the photos? Have they been taken off this site?

Wanbliho, the photos missing are all from the Denver Public Library Archives. They updated their website some time ago and all links changed. If you go to digital.denverlibrary.org/you will probably find them there. |

Hello Dietmar
firstly seaons greetings to you, and indeed to everyone on the board.
I have a question about a few of the items on the Bufflo Bill items on the cowan auction sight.
There are three photos of Buffalo Bill and a group Indians taken post Wounded Knee that include Kicking Bear and Short Bull amongst others, one of which I've not seen before.
Do you, or anyone else on the board have any of these three images they could post so that I could have a closer, longer look at them? It would be very helpful if any of you did.
My other question is, have they given the right names to the Indians that are present, I'm not sure they have

Sorry Shan, I almost missed your post.
I think we discussed the identities of the men in the photos before somewhere. Some names are correct, some are not... or at least doubtable.
Rocky Bear, Two Strike, High Hawk and Crow Dog are the ones who can easily be identified.
Greetings
Dietmar

Hello. Thank you for allowing me to join this community, and this thread. I'm a photo historian, with a strong interest in American vernacular photography. I bought this picture some years ago on eBay (cheap! I was the only bidder). It's by the New York theatrical photographer Benjamin Falk, taken around 1900-1901 in his studio atop the Waldorf Astoria hotel, then on 33rd Street.
Recently I was looking at some of the portraits of the Wild West Show Indians taken in New York by Gertrude Käsebier in 1898, and began studying the faces in this picture and trying to match them to hers. I wonder if anyone can confirm or deny my tentative IDs.
Standing third from left might be Iron Tail. Seated at front, second from right, might be Flying Hawk. The older man seated in the center, wearing a war bonnet, might be Blue Horse. Much more tentatively, standing second from left might be Lone Bear.
I'd be grateful for your feedback. I took the picture through the frame with my phone, but if a scan would help I could do that.Attachments:

Welcome luc,
yes, Sam Lone Bear is standing 2nd from left. Rocky Bear likely is the man with war-bonnet in the center. Comes-Out-Holy standing in the back. I think I have a better scan somewhere, so I´ll look on weekend...

Hello all together,hello luc, From Image Archive of „Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave“: Photograph: Cast of Buffalo Bill's Wild West ID# 311 images.buffalobill.org/original/311.jpgSubject: Indians (Native Americans); Buffalo Bill's Wild West show; BBWW show; cast; Sam Lone Bear; Iron Tail; Rocky Bear; Flying Hawk; Whirlwind Horse; Great Thunder Description: Cast of Buffalo Bill's Wild West posed, some with family, in front of painted backdrop of the arena. Tentative identification on the following individuals: Great Thunder (far left); Sam-Lone-Bear (2nd from left); Iron Tail (3rd from left); Rocky Bear (Middle of bottom row, seated on ground); Flying Hawk (2nd from right seated on ground); Whirlwind-Horse (5th from right standing).

Sorry, I misspelled; thank you Dietmar. Wolfgang, the thing that puzzles me is this: Great Thunder is said to be on the far left, but at far left is a portly, clearly Anglo individual who looks like William Howard Taft (and whom another source tentatively identified as Buffalo Bill's treasurer, Jule Keen).
