I do not think it is him. I have owned some original photos of him in the past, including my nicest one which is currently in Mastronet, and grew up in the town he was from in Maine. I have probably seen every known Sockalexis image there is of him. I am almost positive it is not him. However, he had a few brothers, one of which was an Olympic Marathon Runner in 1912, the same Olympics as Jim Thorpe so there is a chance it could be his brother. There were a lot of men with the name Sockalexis around 1900 in Central Maine because Lou's father was the chief of the penobscots and their lineage was strong.
