Shown here are some of the Cheyenne chiefs present at the
LBH battle, from left to right:
Sits
in the Night; Red Cherries; Brave Wolf; Two Moons; American
Horse; Buffalo Hump; Spotted Wolf; Old Wolf.
According to Frink/Barthelmess in "Photographer on
an Army Mule" the photo was made at a council with
General Nelson A. Miles at Lame Deer in 1889.
Two Moons was the spokesman of the Cheyenne at this council.
I guess that Buffalo Hump is Bull Hump, son of Dull Knife.
Spotted Wolf (or Young Spotted Wolf) and Old Wolf were both
members of the 1873 delegation to Washington. —

The Indian holding the star-spangled banner on the right
of Two Moons (on his left) looks like Laban Little Wolf.

This photo is also in Powell´s "People of the
Sacred Mountain". It was made in 1908 at a great gathering
in the valley of the Little Bighorn. Two Moons and other
Cheyennes along with representatives of other tribes assembled
some thirty years after the battle. Wooden Leg also described
the gathering in Marquis´ book about him. —
