Didn't I tell you somebody would be right along to help find it? :-)

We kick butt here; and the thing that makes me furious is that the damn blogs will steal all this and run with it starting about 7 a.m. today!

I Googled "Little Big Man" images and it was on the first page of results.

[MindBender26]

There is no way all these "styles" of art were done by one artist. Am calling the Denver TV station with a recommendation to check this thread, ebay and elsewhere.

[Howlin]

I wouldn't know where to begin to know where to look!

I am just a thread starter, not a researcher.......

[Howlin]

I emailed Craig Silverman!

Little Big Man Photo-Postcard
- LITTLE BIG MAN - Ogalalla Dakota Sioux As a member of the Sioux tribe, Little Big Man battled against the “white” intruders during the late 19th century. In September 1875, during negotiations at Red Cloud Agency regarding the future ownership of the Black Hills, he led a mock charge at the white commissioners by a large group of warriors. Firing their guns and shouting ritual war chants, they badly scared everyone but did no physical damage. After the Wounded Knee massacre of his tribe, the Sioux were forced to surrender and remain on reservations. Little Big Man was later made an agency policeman. (Credit Photo: W.H. Jackson circa 1870’s) TCWEKQ92

Little Big Man
Sioux, Oglala
Photographed by Charles M. Bell
Copyright 1877

Oglala Sioux Warrior. A fearless and respected
warrior who fought along side of Crazy Horse
against Bear Coat Miles, Little Big Man opposed the
treaty and the commission that wanted to take the
Black Hills from the Sioux. He was later made into
an agency policeman by the whiteman, and some
think that he was partially responsible for the death
of Crazy Horse.

ROTFLOL!
Now "that" is art.

[jonrick46]

It would be strange in this topsy-turvy world that the fake art generates higher worth than the originals just because they are fake.

[Howlin]

Are we doing what I think we are doing? Find the originals of pictures he has sold and claimed as his own? (Just checking here....it's late in NC)

[Drango]

Yes we are....finding the copyright holder too!

NOTHING can make it past FReepers!!!

Well done, all!
