EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic image of the famous Battery "E" of 1st Artillery in 1891. Taken by John C. H. Grabill, a notable photographer from the late 19th century, this photograph is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts brave men standing proudly alongside their Hotchkiss gun, which was mistakenly perceived as a toy by Big Foot's Indians. These courageous soldiers were part of the fighting 7th regiment, what remains of General Custer's boys. Together, they successfully sent 200 Indians to their heavenly resting place that ghost dancers believe in. Set against the backdrop of Lakota country on Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, this image transports us to the frontier days on the Great Plains. It offers a glimpse into Native American culture during the turn of the century and showcases both sides involved in conflicts like Indian wars. The encampment features tents scattered across the landscape as bluecoats prepare for battle while scouts keep watchful eyes over their surroundings. The sepia-toned photograph adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to this snapshot from America's westward expansion era. With its focus on weaponry and military presence, this photo serves as a reminder of United States' history with Native Americans and its impact on reservation life at that time. It stands as a testament to both triumphs and tragedies experienced by those who shaped our nation's past.
