Commentary |
Broder, p. 114, says the artist was in Montana in the summer of 1914 at the Cheyenne Reservation where he got Chief Little Wolf to pose for this piece. Elsewhere Broder says the copyright for this was in 1915 & 1928."--PPC Broder was wrong on two counts. There were two models, the first was Robert Little Wolf, the son of Chief Little Wolf, and Rutherford Rolling Bull. The work was copyrighted in 1914. |
