Looks too young to be Sitting Bull.

Westerner:
Is that a braided whip on her left hand? Looks like trouble. Love the picture.

I'll take your word for it that her tie pin is a gun of some sort.

I have come across a reference that states this gentleman from Reply#2, is William Cody in 1871.

Wondering if the gentleman on the right might be holding a single shot. My eyes are not good enough to tell. To me it appears to be either a Sharps Model 1878 or a Winchester Model 1885. What do the experts say?

Powderman

Unfortunately. the light is reflected off the young man's Merwin & Hulbert's plating just enough to make the rifle's action difficult to identify.  It could well be either an 1885 or an 1878; but I favor a Winchester over a Sharps.

A little Photo Shop tweak helps bring out detail in shadows.

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.
