Description: Phillip Wells sitting; Agnes Wells; sitting in front of field; for some time I [Bill Farr] thought Philllip Wells was also called Yellow Medicine, appearing in a number of Julius Seyler photographs, 1913-1914. Now, 2022, I believe Yellow Medicine was James Ground, the brother of John Ground. See Adolf Hungry Wolf, The Blackfoot Papers, Vol.4, p. 1087
Notes: On the back there are some remarks concerning year of death, 1958 at 78 years. It is unclear if this is referring to Phillip Wells or Agnes.

Earl Old Person thought the mustached man next to White Calf was Nequette, usually pronounced Kneecat. Maybe Joe Nequette later from Starr School, whose wife was a Sun Dance woman (1939) known as Many Buffalo Stones. See AHW, Blackfoot Papers, vol.II, 637.

Photographer: Fred R. Meyer/ Fred H. Kiser
Courtesy of: Sherburne Collection, K.Ross Toole Archives, UM
Format: Print, Glass Plate
Notes: This photogarph appeared on 1994 Engagement Calendar of the National Museum of the American Indian and is attributed to Fred R. Meyer. He was not the only photographer present. The photographs printed here were from glass plates of Meyer found in the J.H. and J.L. Sherburne Collection, K. Ross Toole Archives, UM. One of these is a so-called war lodge, adorned with unique and distinguishing pictographs of war exploits. There were a number of these war lodges. The Fred Meyer photo of this particular lodge has an American flag attached to a pole much taller than the adjacent lodge poles. Another photo of this same distinctive war lodge is printed in L. James Dempsey, Blackfoot War Art. Pictographs of the Reservation period, 1880-2000(2007), p. 238, Fig. 73 located at the University of Montana Archives. This war lodge, without the American flag, also appears in the photographic work of Fred H. Kiser (Kiser Photo Co, Portland, Oregon, copyright 1910 ) and was used by Walter Shelley Philipps in 1911 when, under the nom de plume of "El Comancho," Phillips published an article in Leslie's Illustrated Weekly (July 27, 1911, p.95-96). This was titled "The Tragedy of the Last Grass Dance." Phillips illustrated his article not with his own photography, but by using the copyrighted photographs by Fred Kiser of the previous year (1910). Among these photos was one of a war lodge with the caption "'Ghost'" Lodge of Little Plume with the addendum "The Pictures on the Tent Narrate The Chief's Deeds." Little Plume had only recently died, in November of 1909. Much beloved, Little Plume's distinctive, but empty, war lodge had been pitched alone, wrote Phillips, in order that "the ghost of Little Plume may join his people even though unseen and this lodge is regarded as the place of abode of his spirit." Both Meyer's and Kiser's photos are of the same lodge, one without the flag, one with. One is specifically identfied by Phillips as Little Plume's - although the neither of the two photographers, Meyer or Kiser, specifically did so. The pictographs, however, reveal that they are the same.
