    They are probably performers. I think that show is still going in at the Fort Worth Stock Yards.

    That would be otter fur covering his twin hair braids, extended to great lengths here. Lovely star fire medallion, silver no doubt, holds his kerchief. Stars were a talisman to Quannah. Eagle feathers on bonnet and on his terrible lance, now seemingly modified to a staff with a less lethal point. But those notches on the staff? Probably not just for show. Each could represent a bitter campaign he fought, or engagements where his bravery was surely put to the test in defense of his beliefs and family. many in this Fat Stock Show audience thought him little more than a murdering savage, yet he proved them wrong at every turn. A true patriot who fought valiantly for his people in war and in peace. We'll not see his like ever again, I fear. This photo is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing the history of our beloved Texas. As one who is related to the Parker clan, and thus to Quanah, these images bring tears to my eyes easily. Lawrence Jones III saved the history of Texas for posterity through his unceasing efforts at collecting and archiving these images, expending his life savings many times over to acquire images such as this one, and now he and the institution he chose to preserve them for all share freely with us. What a magnificent gift to be able to show this to my son.
