Another modern card that reproduces an older photograph: Crow Chiefs Gathering for Parade, made by Elsa Spear Byron in 1924. The image features well known tribal leaders Plenty Coups, White man Runs Him, and Plenty Hawk. This photo was taken at the annual Crow Fair at the Crow Agency in Montana...this event is still held and features a large number of tipis in the encampment.
Byron was an woman photographer, born in Wyoming. She photographed many of the Crow Fairs from 1911 until the 1950s, as well as some of the native people who participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn
