EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scene at Custer Battlefield, 1876" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Captured by an anonymous American photographer in the 19th century, this image is now housed at the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois. The photograph depicts a haunting scene from the infamous Battle of Little Bighorn that took place on June 25-26,1876. The battle was a fierce confrontation between Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer's Seventh Cavalry Regiment and several Native American tribes led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. It resulted in a devastating defeat for Custer and his men. In this somber image, we see remnants of the battlefield transformed into a cemetery or churchyard. Tombstones dot the landscape as silent witnesses to the lives lost during that fateful battle. The desolate surroundings evoke both sorrow and reverence for those who fought bravely but tragically perished. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of America's turbulent past and its complex relationship with its indigenous peoples. It invites contemplation on themes such as conflict, sacrifice, remembrance, and reconciliation. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured through time's lens, we are transported back to that pivotal moment when two worlds collided on these hallowed grounds. Through this image, we can reflect upon our shared history while striving towards understanding and healing in our present-day society.
