EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of the Little Big Horn, which took place in June 1876. The colour lithograph showcases the chaos and bravery that unfolded during this historic clash between Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry and a coalition of Lakota Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors. The image vividly portrays the fierce confrontation as both sides fiercely fight against each other. Horses gallop through the battlefield while native American warriors brandish tomahawks and guns, displaying their unwavering determination to defend their land and way of life. Injured soldiers can be seen scattered throughout the scene, highlighting the high cost paid by both sides in this brutal conflict. Lieutenant Colonel Custer himself is depicted on horseback alongside Major Marcus Reno, two prominent figures who played crucial roles in this fateful battle. Their leadership decisions would ultimately shape its outcome. Beyond capturing a moment frozen in time from one of America's most significant conflicts with Native American tribes, this print also serves as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice. It reminds us of the profound impact that battles like these had on shaping our nation's history while shedding light on important discussions surrounding health care practices during times of war.
