Ingrid Superstar is perhaps the most mysterious of the Warhol superstars. There is little known about her including her real name, which is believed to be Ingrid von Scheven or Ingrid von Schefflin. Ingrid appeared in a handful of Warhol's films throughout the second half of the Sixties.

Valentine’s Studio. No. 809 E. Leigh St. Richmond, Va.

"Edward V. Valentine, the celebrated sculptor of whom Virginia is so justly proud, is here shown in his studio surrounded by models, casts, art works, etc. The bust in the foreground is a study of Robt. E. Lee executed in connection with the statue which Mr. Valentine designed for placement in “Statuary Hall” at Washington. Here have been designed the incomparable recumbent statue of Lee, at Lexington, the statue of Jefferson, in the hotel of that name, and of Jefferson Davis on Monument Ave., as well as other noted works of art too numerous to mention here."

All but one man died
There at Bitter Creek
And they say he ran away
Branded
Marked with a coward’s shame
What do you do when you’re branded
Will you fight for your name
He was innocent
Not a charge was true
But the world will never know
Branded
Scorned as the one who ran
What do you do when you’re branded
And you know you’re a man
And wherever you go
for the rest of your life
You must prove
You’re a man
Stripped of all his rank
Stripped of all his pride
Still he held his head up high
Branded
Friends are a thing unknown
What do you do when you’re branded
Can you go on alone
Of his Gen’ral Reed
And the men who died
He can never speak the truth
Branded
That’s not the way to die
What do you do when you’re branded
Can you live with a lie
Branded
