Journalist and actor (1890–1932) who became a prominent spokesman for Indian causes. Born Sylvester Clark Long with an ethnic mix of American Indian, white, and black heritage, he became famous following publication of his autobiography in which he claimed to be the son of a Blackfoot Indian chief. He had earlier claimed to be a West Point graduate and Cherokee Indian while writing about and defending Native American rights, and was fired from a job writing for the Calgary Herald for throwing a fake bomb into a city council meeting. After starring in the film Silent Enemy, concerns arose over his falsifying his heritage. He was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the home of a California socialite. TLS, one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Roosevelt Field Hotel letterhead, November 14, 1930. In full: “Yes, I remember seeing you at the Club. I am glad that you have been helping Doctor Blossom in the Club library. And thanks for your congratulations. I appreciate them very much. Dagwan, the Medicine Man in ‘The Silent Enemy’ is Chief Akawansh, Chief of the Golden Lake Band of Ojibays, in Northern Canada.” In very good condition, with even toning and mild soiling and staining.
