[Red Fox James, a Blackfeet Indian, rode horseback from state to state, seeking approval for a day to honor American Indians. On December 14, 1915, Red Fox James presented the endorsements of 24 state governments to the White House. There is no record, however, of such a national day being proclaimed. I have another real photo postcard of Red Fox on the Lincoln Highway in Utah. You can read more about Red Fox at: http://electricindian.50megs.com/redfox2.htm]
