Item Description
Largest 1st Generation SITTING BULL Photo, a Custer Battlefield Museum 120th Anniversary Print. As spiritual leader and head of the Hunkpapa warrior societies, this legendary chief and vision seeker guided his people for nearly 40 years during the times when Manifest Destiny sought her fortune within the lands of the Sioux. Photograph by David F. Barry, c. 1884.
David F. Barry's famous photographs of the American Indian and U.S. Army participants in the Sioux War of 1876 are some of the most recognizable surviving images from this period in the history of the American West.
Custer Battlefield Museum is located on the former site of Sitting Bull's camp, on the famous Garryowen bend of the Little Bighorn River, a traditional summer hunting campsite for many Plains Indian tribes. As the Seventh Cavalry approached in late June of 1876, this was the site of one of the largest Indian gatherings ever recorded in North America.
