content: PROVENIENCE NOTE: THIS SPECIMEN ORIGINALLY LOGGED IN THE LEDGER AS "BLACKFOOT, MONTANA," BUT LATER IDENTIFIED AS "PROBABLY YANKTON DAKOTA." ... FROM CARD: "BROWN STRIPS OF FUR JOINED AND PROVIDED WITH BUCKSKIN POUCH AT BASE WHICH IS FASTENED LOOSELY TO FUR STRIPS. FUR POUCH HAS A WRITTEN INSCRIPTION, "J. LEE ENGLEBERT, U.S.A., FROM PRESIDENT LINCOLN." [sic] GOTTEN FROM "IRON HORSE." [sic] POUCH BEADED AND FRINGED. SHR 10/23/1963, PROBABLY DAKOTA, NOT BLACKFOOT. IRON HORN (WHICH IS NAME ON SPECIMEN, NOT IRON HORSE) IS NAME OF TWO DIFFERENT MEN (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS EXIST IN BAE ARCHIVES), ONE OF THEM A HUNKPAPA (PHOTO TAKEN AT STANDING ROCK AGENCY IN 1872), THE OTHER A YANKTON (PHOTO TAKEN IN WASHINGTON IN 1916, BUT HE WAS BORN IN THE 1840'S). NEITHER HAS KNOWN ASSOCIATION WITH CHEYENNE RIVER AGENCY, WHICH IS WHERE ENGLEBERT WAS AN INDIAN AGENT IN 1870 (ACCORDING TO MISS CARMELITA RYAN AT U.S. ARCHIVES; ENGLEBERT WAS AN AGENT ONLY FROM 10/19/1870 TO 12/16/1870, AND WAS AT CHEYENNE R. AGENCY; THE SPECIMEN DOES NOT HAVE U.S.A. ON IT AS ENTERED ABOVE BUT U.S.I.A., MEANING U.S. INDIAN AGENCY), BUT THE SECOND HORN IS MORE LIKELY, SINCE THE FIRST ONE WAS DEFINITELY AT STANDING ROCK ONLY TWO YEARS LATER. HENCE THE SPECIMEN IS PROBABLY YANKTON. THE REFERENCE TO PRESIDENT LINCOLN IS PROBABLY INCORRECT. THE WRITING IS ALMOST INDECIPHERABLE BUT APPEARS TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE PASSUTA SINENTA, NOT PRESIDENT LINCOLN."
