EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating ink-on-paper print titled "Retreat of Major Marcus Renos command" by Amos Bad Heart Buffalo takes us back to the historic Battle of Little Big Horn in June 1876. The artwork showcases a warrior, identified as Soldier Hawk (Cetan Akicita), from the Oglala tribe wearing a striking hawk skin on his head. This powerful depiction captures the intensity and defeat experienced by Major Marcus Reno's command during this significant battle, also known as Custer's Last Stand. Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer, who met his tragic fate during this conflict, is subtly referenced in this artwork. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and turmoil of war through intricate details such as lancing a cavalryman and soldiers on horseback armed with rifles. Amidst the dispute between American forces and Native tribes like the Sioux, Amos Bad Heart Buffalo brings forth an authentic representation of Native American culture and history through ledger art. This traditional form of storytelling using pictorial narratives allows us to delve into North America's rich heritage. The Stapleton Collection proudly houses this remarkable piece that not only highlights historical events but also pays homage to indigenous warriors who fought valiantly for their land and way of life. Bridgeman Images has preserved this important work so that it can be appreciated for generations to come without any restrictions on its use or distribution beyond commercial purposes.
