Four of his sons headed the group, which included nephews and grandchildren of Spotted Tail, as well as the children of other Brule chiefs. About 15 of those fathers accompanied their children on the long journey and may be seen posed among the group. An older daughter of Spotted Tail and her husband Charles Tackett were left at Carlisle as chaperones. Tackett is the man in a dark suit standing read more
