Experience the power of history with the limited edition print of Red Horse, vividly portraying a Sioux chief's legacy from the Battle of the Little Bighorn. This work is a masterpiece of cultural storytelling and artistic finesse.
Five years after the momentous June day in 1876, Red Horse, a chief of the Sioux Indians, conveyed in sign language to a U.S. Army surgeon a detailed account of the events surrounding George Custer’s defeat on the Little Bighorn. Red Horse had played a prominent role in the battle, so in addition to his narrative, Dr. Charles McChesney, the surgeon who took his testimony, also persuaded the Sioux chief to draw a series of pictographs of the battle.
The drawings behind Red Horse’s portrait are part of those 41 ledger drawings created in 1881.
