For your consideration is a Rare Vintage Photograph of "One Bull", Sitting Bull's nephew, 1934. One Bull, sometimes given as Lone Bull, later known as Henry Oscar One Bull, was a Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux man best known for being the nephew and adopted son of Sitting Bull, the great Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux leader. As a Lakota warrior One Bull fought at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Provenance: From the John Kleinschmidt collection which was on loan to the C.M. Russell Museum from 1987 to 1993 and included in the "The Cowboy West: 100 Years of Photography 1992-1993 exhibit. An attached museum tag reads, "1396-87 O'Dell". One Bull was a Heyoka, one who dreamed of thunderbirds. This photograph was also used in Colonel A. B. Welch's Collection, the Welch Dakota Papers, that included 4,000 plus pages of interviews, documents and photos from Sioux, Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa from the 1800's until 1945. From a conversation on April 13, 1934 Welch had with One Bull. In this photograph, One Bull wears a feathered and fur headdress, traditional Indian tanned hide leather and horse hair fringed garment shirt, beaded illustrated nameplate across his chest while holding a typical Northern Plains bead and feather wrapped war club in his right hand while also holding Sitting Bull's leather war shield in his left hand. The photograph is marked in ink on the bottom, "One Bull = Hunkpapa Nephew, Sitting Bull 1934".

The visible art measures 10.25"W x 13.25"L, frame is 11.75" W x 15" L x .75" D. Weight is 1lb, 14oz.
