Notes
Title hand-written on front of photonegative. Opinions vary on the true identification of this photograph. The title here, or the variation "Old Man Afraid of His Horse" (Tasunka Coquipah - Oglallah Sioux) differ from the assertion that this is "Roman Nose" (Miniconjou - Cheyenne). The name: "Man Afraid of his Horse" is more accurately translated as "Man whose horse causes fear." Formerly F44814 ; R7100317987
