EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the famous Battery E of 1st Artillery, along with their brave men and the powerful Hotchkiss gun. It showcases a significant moment in American history when Big Foot's Indians underestimated the might of this artillery piece, believing it to be nothing more than a toy. However, these courageous soldiers proved them wrong. Accompanying Battery E is what remains of General Custer's boys from the Fighting 7th regiment. Together, they dealt a decisive blow to over 200 Indian warriors, sending them to the afterlife that Ghost Dancers supposedly enjoy. This victory silenced the Indian noise and prompted General Miles and his staff to return triumphantly to Illinois. The photographer behind this iconic image is John C. H. Grabill, an esteemed American photographer who opened his first photographic studio in 1886. His skillful composition and attention to detail make this photograph a true work of art. As we delve into America's rich history through vintage photography like this one, we are reminded of the bravery and resilience displayed by those who shaped our nation. This image serves as a testament to their courage while shedding light on an important chapter in United States history.
