Another photograph with a story to tell if you could find it.   It is Identified as White Wolf, Indian Medicine Man.   He is obviously a white man in buckskin Indian dress.   I believe he is probably some sort of snake oil medicine salesman or promoter.   This photograph was probably sold as a souvenir or advertisement.   He is great though.   Look at those duds!   Buckskin jacket and pants; fringed beaded, and decorated.   He wears some sort of horn necklace and hold a beautiful bow case and arrows in HIS left hand.   In his right hand he holds a Winchester rifle.   He has a Bowie knife stuck in his belt and wears a possible Remington revolver in a holster on his left hand side with the handle facing out.   Finally, he has a blanket draped over his right shoulder.  The photograph was taken by Garrison Bros, Fort Dodge, Iowa.
