Chief John Smith was on this planet for an incredibly long time, so much so that it’s not entirely clear how old he was, he was also known as White Wolf and Gaa-binagwiiyaas or “When The Flesh peels Off.” Apart from his impressive generation, Smith was one of the Native Americans most photographed at the time. C.N. Christensen, from Cass Lake, Minnesota, used Smith as a model for various cabinet photography that brought Smith fame to travel in the midwest and sell his own pictures free of charge and ride the tracks.
