[QUOTE="charley, post: 8216622, member: 5372"]Please don't take offense. That was not the purpose of my post, nor do I attribute anything posted by others as wrong or incorrect or not fact. The only thrust of my post is that Iron Tail, while certainly a persona, was not nearly as influential as Quanah. It is sort of like Crazy Horse... very little is known about him or his early life at all, and he was considered a lower order "raider" among the Sioux, yet he is all over a mountain, because the sculptor knew of Little Big Horn, and a letter to the sculptor long after the death of Crazy Horse. The interesting aspect is that there is no photo/painting/likeness of Crazy Horse, and nobody knows what he looks like, but because of the letter from Henry Standing Bear, who was only interested in the sculptor rendering a likeness to represent all Native Americans, here we are. Fact is sometimes born of myths. And vice versa. I will stop now. I am high jacking and as usual my post caused a bit of unintended ire.[/QUOTE]
