The Medicine Man (1907)
Photogravure
Portfolio III plate 76

"Invocation and supplication enter so much into the life of the Indian that this picture of the grim old warrior invoking the Mysteries is most characteristic. The subject of the illustration is Slow Bull (Tata'ka-hu'keshni). Born in 1844, he became a sub-chief of the Ogalala Sioux in 1878." -Curtis
