I have for sale this week a collection of six very rare photo REPRINTS, framed, various sizes, of the famous Caroline \"Go-Won-Go\" Mohawk, also known as the Indian Princess of Greene NY.\"Go-Won-Go\" was born on August 11 1860 on a Indian reservation in Gowanda, NY to chief and medicine man Dr. Alan Mohawk. At the age of one Dr. Mohawk moved to Greene NY and set up practice. She lived there for eight years until the death of her father in 1869. In 1870 Caroline moved with her mother, Lydia Hale Mohawk to Painesville OH where she continued her education. She was a self proclaimed \"Indian Princess\" with many talents. In addition to being a terrific athlete and sportswoman, Go-Won-Go was considered to be the first Indian actress to perform on the American state. During the early 20th century, she starred in \"The Indian Mail Carrier\" which she wrote and produced, and Lincoln Carter\'s \"The Flaming Arrow.\" She briefly appeared with Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickok in Cody\'s \"Wild West Show\" where her role required a masterful display of horsemanship, riding two horses at once while standing on their backs. Go-Won-Go was an advocate of Native American rights and was given a pair of white horses by President Harding in recognition of her efforts in this cause. Go-Won-Go married Captain Charlie Charles, a white man, in Paterson NJ in 1889. Charles was an ex-Army officer and former actor who became her stage manager while on the Vaudeville circuit. CPT Charles also performed with Buffalo Bill following the Indian wars. They owned a large home in Edgewater, NJ. She continued to tour and perform until her health failed in 1924. She died in Edgewater at the age of 58.The home where she grew up in, in Greene, NY has a historical marker in front of the house along side the road, now the residence of some friends of mine. Although she resided for only nine years in Greene, she is one of our most famous residents.
