The caption say´s Kicking Bear, Short Bull and Wovoka. But it could be some-one else because lots of the info on this auction is labeled wrong.

Wovoka?  No, but if the caption says Yankton Charlie, this time I would believe it. |

The third man in this photo is No Neck. [Below is another photo from the Heritage Auction Gallery that Wolfgang sent me. It is No Neck. -- DM]  |

I'm not convinced that the third man is No Neck. Doesn't look the right build. Happy to be proven wrong, however. And yet another great photo!

Great photo Diane. I've seen it before and it still impresses me with their proud dignity and character.
PS: These two guys would not be the kind one would won't to meet in a dark alley . . . or at the LBH!

It's hilarious that Heritage Auction Galleries should even have suggested that the third man with Kicking Bear and Short Bull could possibly have been Wovoka!
Does that background look to you as if it could have been Nevada???
I agree that he is probably Plenty Wolves aka Yankton Charley. The photo was unquestionably taken at one of the venues on the Wild West's 1891 tour.
A lot of the Heritage captions are based on pure guesswork. A photo was sold recently described as having been taken at Land's End, Cornwall. At least one well known photo was indeed taken there on the 29th of May 1904, but this one is clearly a third in a series of photos long since identified as having been taken at Kinnaird Head, Fraserburgh, Scotland, on Tuesday the 30th of August 1904.

Coming soon - if Diane gets my email - is a picture of Short Bull, Hump and others, with Governor Herried of South Dakota in 1904.  |
