Bull Nose

Bull Nose, described within this collection as a Crow chief, was probably born in Montana in the early decades of the 1800s. By the period of this collection, he and many other Native Americans confined to reservations were forced to rely on the good will of Indian agents for letters which provided permission for travel, hunting, and working off the reservation.
