That's excellent Kev !! .... but by any chance could you make it a bit bigger ?? 

I'm squinting ... but can't quite make out names .... except the one we know of course !!   

I think this is when he was with the delegation that went to the school ... I wonder if these are the Anglo names of the boys ?? ... if so ... then I have no idea !!

Oglala, South Dakota (NFIC)When Long Wolf and 11 other Lakota joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, they were escaping imprisonment for their part in wars against the United States.The doctor who worked with the show told press at the time of Long Wolf's death that scars from gunshot wounds and saber cuts covered his body.Long Wolf had fought in the Red Cloud War that closed Fort Phil Kearney, and others along the Bozeman trail. The Lakota success in that war led to the signing of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 and the closing of the Bozeman Trail.Long Wolf also fought at the Battle of the Little Big Horn when the Lakota and Cheyenne defeated George Armstrong Custer. His participation in these wars would have assured his imprisonment if not for Bill Cody's request to have the prisoners released to him to perform in his shows.Instead of going to prison the former Lakota warriors recreated their battle feats and buffalo hunts for enthusiastic audiences including the royal family at Windsor Castle and other royalty across Europe. They also performed in the United States.Long Wolf was the oldest Lakota man travelling with Cody and was called a chief in the show. His position of leadership was nothing new to him as he had served as a headman for his tiospaye (extended family).During the height of the Lakotas' wars with the U.S., Long Wolf lived with the American Horse Band and remained in the Black Hills with the group then called "hostiles," because they refused to sign treaties or surrender and live at the agency designated by the U.S. This group included Crazy Horse.When Long Wolf and American Horse finally had to leave the Black Hills, they came directly to the Pine Ridge Reservation and lived in the Kyle area, according to great-grandson Vimber Long Wolf.Long Wolf died of pneumonia, old age, and complications from his many war wounds, according to press accounts, supplied to the Rapid City Journal by the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyo.Long Wolf died in St. George's Hospital and was buried in West Brompton Cemetery with both Christian and Lakota rituals. The Police News carried the story of his death and burial on June 25, the 27th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Big Horn.Article copyright News From Indian Country. He was war in 1866 at Red Cloud's War, Lakota Territory. He lived after 1878 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Kyle, Washabaugh Co., South Dakota, USA. He died on June 25, 1903 at St. George's Hospital, West Brompton, England; Long Wolf died in St. George's Hospital and was buried in West Brompton Cemetery with both Christian and Lakota rituals.
