I have mixed feelings with these images, fascinating, yet disturbing. The indigenous dress was so beautiful. "White man runs him" One of General Custer's Scouts.  and later on in life, obviously posed, on a postcard, signed by a thumbprint. (I cannot acknowledge the postcard, the US gentleman was a member of RASD many years ago, and I cannot recall his name)
Yes I can, benefits of a good search engine. Postcard owner Mr. Tom Loepp. US  |

Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen a souvenir card signed using a thumbprint.

That's really neat! I have seen similar items before but never that significant to US history before!
