EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed lithograph captures the essence of the historic Battle of Little Big Horn, providing a visual representation of this significant event in American history. The map, created by an anonymous 19th-century American artist, showcases the battlefield where General George Custer and his troops clashed with Native American tribes. The illustration was originally featured in an article on Picture-writing of the American Indians by Garrick Mallery, published in the Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in 1888-89. It offers valuable insights into indigenous communication methods and cultural practices during that time. The map depicts not only geographical features but also highlights key elements such as battle scenes, tribal territories, and important landmarks. It serves as a fascinating glimpse into both military strategy and ethnographic study. Through this print, viewers are transported back to 1876 when tensions between Native Americans and settlers were at their peak. The clash between Northern Cheyenne warriors led by Sitting Bull and Lakota Sioux fighters against Custer's Seventh Cavalry Regiment resulted in a decisive victory for the Native Americans. This artwork allows us to delve deeper into America's past while shedding light on crucial aspects such as anthropology, history, and intercultural dynamics. Its vivid colors bring life to an otherwise distant historical event while reminding us of our nation's complex heritage.
