Mrs. White Elk - 1880

Renowned Western artists Charlie Russell and Frederic Remington
painted from Huffman's photographs. His photography provides a
glimpse into the memorable history of frontier America.
The story behind this photograph is that Huffman was trying to take
Mrs. White Elk's photograph but she wouldn't smile for him.
He then gave her a ring, and she put it on and smiled for him.
Which is shown in these three photographs.
Stunning piece of American history!
