Surrendering in 1881
I'm
assuming this is shortly after the surrender of Gall,
Rain in the Face and Low Dog; Running Antelope is there
as some sort of facilitator, I guess. I'm also assuming
the jackets he and Gall are wearing were handed out
for the occasion - maybe Rain's hat too. The latter
is holding a photo of himself which I always thought
was taken by Barry or Huffman shortly after surrender
(if memory serves, he has fur-wrapped braids, one feather
and is wearing an army blouse), but I guess must have
been taken while he frequented Ft Abraham Lincoln or
even during his period of arrest. —

My
information of this photo is:
made by Frank J. Haynes in 1881
The complete photo shows 10 Sioux Indians. In the front
row sitting are Gall, Crawler, Low Dog/Crow King, Running
Antelope and Rain-in-the-Face.
In the back row standing are Louis Sitting Bull, Chase
Walking, Yellow Hawk, Fool Bear and Brave Thunder:

I
have two D.F. Barry photographs of Louis Sitting Bull
and one other in "The last years of Sitting Bull"
of the State Historical Society of North Dakota.
In "The Lance and the Shield" you find this
statement: "there were the two stepsons brought
into the marriage by Seen-By-The-Nation, identified
in early years as Little Soldier and Blue Mountain,
among other names, but in reservation years as Louis
Sitting Bull and William Sitting Bull. William was the
deaf-mute."
The deaf-mute stepson was also photographed by Barry,
but he was named John Sitting Bull (a little confusing!)

Doesn't
No. 7 remind you of Spotted Eagle, the Sans Arc leader,
particularly with that knife club? —

This
a companion picture to the alleged Haynes group photo
with Low Dog (available from SIRIS). This one is lacking
the entourage standing behind Gall, Crawler, Low Dog,
Running Antelope and Rain In The Face:
These
1881 Lakota photos might in fact be David Barry's work.
Haynes seemed to have used and distributed them under
his own name. — Hans Karkheck
