Rare Circa 1878 Large Albumen Photo / Butcher at Red Cloud Indian Agency
Pic #1, the scan, is accurate. Tibbits (correct spelling, given in an interview by Ben himself) was a fairly well known character in Indian Wars history - he rode, as wagon master, with George Armstrong Custer at the 1868 Battle of Washita River, and was later the butcher at the historic Red Cloud Sioux Agency, where this photo was taken.
