EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Troopers being driven across the river" by Amos Bad Heart Buffalo showcases a significant moment in history. Depicting the Battle of the Little Big Horn, also known as Custer's Last Stand, this ink on paper artwork transports us back to June 1876. Lieutenant Colonel A. Custer and his troops are seen crossing the river, their determined expressions revealing their readiness for battle. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the soldiers' intricate costumes and feathered headdresses to their mounted horses and powerful rifles. Amidst this intense scene, we witness a clash of cultures between American soldiers and Native Americans. Ledger art, a traditional form of storytelling among Plains Indians during that era, is beautifully captured here with its naive style and symbolic elements such as bow and arrows, eagle lances, and tribal attire. The image serves as a reminder of the disputes that arose during America's westward expansion while honoring both sides involved in this historical conflict. It encapsulates not only an important chapter in American history but also pays homage to Amos Bad Heart Buffalo's artistic talent. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its portrayal of bravery amidst adversity. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be transported back to that fateful day on the banks of Montana Territory's riverside - forever etched into our collective memory.
