I was hoping for an excuse to post some more Morrow photos that weren't in the first list. Here are a few anyway:  Three Indians on horseback (ca. 1876) I wonder if they're scouts with Crook's column  White Eagle and other Ponca chiefs  Antone Rimeaux (Lone Chief), Ponca  Sitting Soldier (Yanktonai?)  Arikara women and children - though this is the same location as the phot of Two Bears and other headmen that it makes me wonder...   A late Morrow - Struck by the Ree and wife, 1883  White Bull, Sans Arc  Hidatsa, Mandan and Yanktonai headmen  Santee chief and wife  Cheyenne - likely another Arikara or Hidatsa man  Stabs, Bobtail Bull, Yellow Wolf, Little Soldier (Arikara)  Peace treaty between Sisseton Dakota, Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara, Fort Berthold, 11 July, 1870. I have a version of this in better resolution somewhere  Tipis  White Eagle, Ponca  Ponca leaders  Lakota (Miniconjou?) captives at Slim Buttes. Charging Bear is supposed to be Indian the man at the left    Lakota prisoners at Slim Buttes (details)  I had saved this as a Morrow, but I'm not so sure. Omahas?  Mandans, 1870  Horse Road and Ice Bear  Struck by the Ree and Feather in the Ear, Yankton  Red Cloud - is this a Morrow? There is an alternate version of this, with his braid over his shoulder. |

To answer my own question above: probably not Morrow and not Mandan. This is Julius Meyer with Iowa chiefs and you can see two of the gentlemen in the photo above:  |

Here's the Fort Berthold July 1870 photo in better resolution:  The three horsemen photo at the top of my previous post ... The man on the right with the white hat?  ... and is the man in the middle the one on the left here, with the fur sash/bandolier?  So... Cheyenne scouts? |

Grahame, I think the group picture with Julius Meyer is a J. H. Hamilton. At least he took portraits of some men in the picture.
Great that you identified the supposed Cheyenne scout picture.

Morrow himself wrote in a letter about Sitting Soldier: "I sent you a picture of Ah-keetch-e-tah e-u-ti-kah (cannot say that it is spelled correctly but it is near as I can spell it so as to give the pronunciation), or Setting Soldier. He is an Unc-pa-pa chief under Two Bear. His entire suit is buckskin, military regulation hat, and he is the most fantastic specimen of the Genus Homo I have yet met." [Frontier Photographer - Stanley J. Morrow´s Dakota Years,Hurt and Lass, 1956, page 15] The man in the stereograph looks a bit young to be a chief though:  |

I wonder if he's the man standing at the right in the photo of Two Bears and his headmen... I wonder if this is a Morrow:  Bad Gun and Little Wolf, Mandan   Cheyenne prisoners near Fort Keogh, 1878  Cheyenne camp on the Yellowstone, 1878   I think these were Arikara scouts - CRoss Thorn and Bull in the Water, 7th cavalry scouts (or is this a Haynes?)  Omaha  Cheyenne medicine lodge on the Yellowstone |

Wolf Voice was a Gros Ventre (Atsina) man married to a Northern Cheyenne woman. I wonder if he was connected to the small Cheyenne kindred group called Notamin (Facing North), which comprised people of mixed Cheyenne-Gros Ventre descent?
In the group photo showing three men, Wolf Voice is seated left (in warbonnet) while the man at right in hat is Brave Wolf, according to the information in Fr Powell's People of the Sacred Mountain (see Vol. 2, pp 1136-37).Brave Wolf was a very prominent Cheyenne warrior, a Contrary in the period 1866-76.

I was just about to mention the Two Moons photo. Doesn't he wear the same bonnet as one of the men in one of the photos with that kind of stockade wall backdrop?

BRAVE WOLF (Ho'neo Xhaaestse)
Northern Cheyenne, O'mi'sis (Eaters) band. Born about 1820; his father Horn was a famous shaman; his wife Corn Woman was a sister of the chief Mad Head.
In the period 1866-1876 he became a Hohnuhk'e (Contrary). He fought with honour in the Rosebud and LBH battles, especially against Reno's troopers.
In April 1877 he surrended with Two Moon band and became a scout under general Nelson Miles. In this role, he fought in the attack to Lame Deer village
and in the pursuit of Chief Joseph (Nez Percè).His son was named Lone Elk.
He died in 1910 (other sources give him yet alive in 1926).
I have seen other images (more aged) of him, but that above (seated with hat and rifle) is the best. No date of it?
