Oglala Portraits

My name is Arthur Short Bull. Grant Short Bull was my great grandfather. I have been enjoying this site for several weeks and thought I would utilize the extensive knowledge demonstrated here to help me with some photograph IDs.

Here are a couple of photographs that were in my family that I would appreciate help on identifying.

thanks

Thanks, Dietmar for helping me post these images. This one above looks like it was taken at the same location of Iron Tail photos from the Buffalo Bill tour. I also have several Buffalo Bill tour photographs, though damaged that were obviously taken sometime during the course of the tour. I would be happy to post them, but don't want to encumber the site or test your patience in getting them up ... Arthur

I saw your recent show at the Center for Great Plains Studies art museum here in Lincoln. I was deeply moved by your beautiful watercolors. Thank you. I'm glad to see that they are selling.

Thanks for posting the link, Emily. So we have another excellent artist among us!

Arthur, don´t hesitate to ask me if you want to upload images to our boards. We all love watching those old photographs here.

Best
Dietmar
