Doing the first search as instructed, I learned that whoever wrote the "Notes & Summaries" has a very limited view of Sitting Bull's life. The word "Sioux" was used instead of "Lakota," "Hunkpapa" was misspelled, the article makes it sound like he was the only leader at Little Big Horn (Crazy Horse & Gall were also major leaders of that battle), and the events surrounding his death were very inaccurate. I expected more from Cornell. So really, I didn't learn anything from this entry in particular.

Ansel Adams has been in the news lately due to the surfacing of some glass plate photos a man bought at a garage sale years ago. It hasn't yet been determined if they really were taken by Adams (last I heard) but they are still really cool photographs. So that's who I did my search on. There were 377 results which mostly seem to be bits and pieces of things he wrote, primarily correspondence. The gentleman who bought these photos should delve into this correspondence if he really wants to prove that the photos were taken by Adams - which he does because if they are Adams' work, they could be worth a pretty penny. One entry was actually for poetry written by Adams. I had no idea he wrote poetry. I wonder if it's any good...I'd had to go to Utah to figure that out though. Holdings were generally archives (both private and state) museums, the Smithsonian, and the Library of Congress.
