Splendid, Grahame! The third man on the left (first row) in your first photo is just Blue Horse! I suppose it was taken at another exposition - Omaha 1898, maybe?

Shot-in-the-Eye is standing far left in the back row, and Painted Horse stands left of Red Shirt, I think.
There was a photograph taken of Big Mouth and his brother Blue Horse among others by photographer Ridgway Glover at Fort Laramie in 1866. Unfortunately Glover got killed and his photographs are lost in mystery.

Blue Horse died in the Wakpamni District on the Pine Ridge Reservation on July 16, 1909.

George Hyde stated that Blue Horse (Sunkawakan To) and his brother Big Mouth (I Tanka) belonged, in origin, to Itesica band (the same of Red Cloud). Later (i think by marriage) he became a Wagluhe (Loafers), a band that generally camping around Fort Laramie (Wyoming). He was born in 1821.
