The Iroquois Indian Museum at Howes Cave NY [ http://www.iroquoismuseum.org/ ] in 2008 put together a nice exhibition
of photos and memorabilia pertinent to Native American baseball. You might want to contact them to see if they can provide
any additional information or insights regarding the team shown in the postcard. Six Nations ringers on a North Carolina
or Oklahoma Cherokee team? |
Thanks Butch, I have been in contact with that museum before. I still get updates in my email from them all the time. Not sure if this is the Olson's Cherokee team or not as I've not ever studied that team, but I know that Native American players of all tribes played on that team.
