Lot of 2 cabinet cards. Studio portrait of Spotted Tail, Chief of the Brulé Sioux, identified in negative. C.M. Bell, Neg., D.F. Barry, Printer: West Superior, WI: n.d., printed from negative originally taken ca 1880. Spotted Tail (1823-1881) served his people as a statesman and went to Washington to lobby for the rights of his people. A period inked inscription on mount below image indicates that this photograph was presented to James E. Kelly by Reverend Francis Craft. This may be the same Francis M. Craft (1852–1920) who was a missionary to the Sioux for two decades during the turbulent years following Sitting Bull's surrender at Fort Buford in 1881, and who suffered a severe injury at Wounded Knee in 1890. Studio portait of Oglala Sioux Chief Young Man Afraid of his Horses. Uncredited: n.d., ca 1884-1886. Young Man Afraid of his Horses (1839-1893) was a sub-chief under Red Cloud, and his name, properly translated, means he was so fierce in battle that even his horses were feared. Condition: Each with some light, even toning. Spotted Tail: corner wear to mount, minor soiling. Young Man Afraid of his Horses; diagonal crease extending from area near top right corner through print towards left edge; pinhole along top edge of print/mount; few minor stains including mark from what looks to be a paperclip that may have once been attached to image.
