A posed photograph of Victorian tea. Remember the tea party photo in yesterday's post...just a little different costumes!

What year was this?

"Joseph White Cow Bull (Cheyenne) being painted by Artist David Humphreys Miller. Circa 1938. White Cow Bull was a survivor of the Battle of a Little Big Horn.Mr Miller found 72 survivors of the battle. He learned their language, 13 in all, and ended up painting all 72. He also collected their stories and wrote a book, “Custer’s Fall, The Indian side of the Story.”
He also wrote a book called “Ghost Dance” about Wounded Knee.
While talking to Joseph White Cow Bull, he was told what happened during the battle. White Cow Bull never said he shot Custer, but from the description of the battle, the Horse the rider was on and corroboration from the others he spoke to, he determined it was Joseph White Cow Bull that shot Custer early in the fight. The horse the rider was on had 4 white stockings and Custer’s horse was the only horse with those markings."
The strange sentence about their language, 13 in all...is printed just the way it originally was on Facebook. Sorry, the page renewed and I didn't catch the site which posted it to FB.

My thanks for Facebook publication of all of the above photos.

Poet Derek Walcott said, “The English language is nobody’s special property. It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.”
