I DO NOT HAVE these pictures I subscribe to Rootsweb, this was on the mailing today: My grandfather, John Lloyd Markley, born in 1891, died in 1961, broke horses as a young man in Montana and was very interested in rodeos and riders. He had a small collection of pictures, probably acquired at some rodeo. All of the cards are sepia toned. They are the size of postcards, but the backs are blank or have the logo of the photographer, Anderson Photographer, 785 Broadway, New York, New York. My estimate of the era is between 1890 and 1920. Five of the people are identified in my grandmother's light handwriting on the back of the picture: Jim KID, Billy BULLOCK, Dick JOHNSON, ? BAKER, Buck TAYLOR, all by ANDERSON Photographer. Others are: -- Buck TAYLOR, Buffalo Bill's Wild West, not an Anderson print, says Sarony, copyright 1886 by Napoleon SARONY, New York. -- Eight braves identified on the back as Pawnee, by Anderson -- Eight chiefs in ceremonial dress, identified on back as Chiefs, by Anderson -- Eight men in ceremonial dress, identified on back as Sioux, by Anderson -- Seven men, six in Indian dress, one in a suit, identified on back as Sioux, by Anderson. The man in the suit does not appear to be a full blood Indian. I would be happy to share these pictures with anyone who thinks they are related to the identified men, or might be related to someone in the unidentified groups. We think we can scan them and attach to an e-mail. My best guess is that all of these people were part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show that traveled around the country and all over Europe. There is a very interesting research project on Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show at the University of Virginia. <http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/HNS/BUFFALOBILL/home.html> Merrie Lee Weiss <merrimac@northlink _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp
