John
Nelson & family
The
young man with the war-bonnet is Nelson´s eldest son
Yellow Horse, who performed many seasons in the show. The
smallest children in the picture is his daughter Rose (who
later took the stage name Princess Blue Waters), who proved
to be a favorite of the Prince of Wales during Cody´s
stay in London in 1887. Perhaps the photo was made at that
time in London!?
