EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stoic presence of Lt. William W. Cooke, an important figure in American history. Taken by an anonymous 19th-century photographer, this image showcases Lt. Cooke in his uniform as a member of the 7th Cavalry Regiment during the Great Sioux War. With his distinguished beard and dundrearies, Lt. Cooke exudes strength and determination, embodying the spirit of a true soldier. As adjutant to General George Armstrong Custer, he played a crucial role in military operations during this tumultuous period. Tragically, Lt. Cooke's life was cut short at The Battle of Little Bighorn – a fateful event that forever changed the course of American Indian Wars. This poignant photograph serves as a lasting tribute to his bravery and sacrifice. The composition expertly captures Lieutenant William Winer Cooke's three-quarter length portrait against the backdrop of Big Horn; it is an enduring reminder of Custer's Last Stand and its impact on American history. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece has been made available through Peter Newark American Pictures for public appreciation and study purposes only - not for commercial use. Through this mesmerizing photograph from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness one man's unwavering commitment to duty amidst turbulent times in America's past.
