RARE 1881 SIOUX CHIEF & BRAVE WHO KILLED CUSTER CABINET PHOTO LITTLE BIG HORN:
$5000.00
Exceptionally rare and previously unknown, circa 1881 Cabinet Card Photograph of the Native American Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux Indian Chief Rain-In-The-Face (Iromagaja) and Lakota warrior Brave Heart (Cante Ohitika) – both warriors at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Rain-in-the-Face was beleved to have killed both Thomas and George Armstrong Custer during the fight. Brave Heart was a member of Sitting Bull’s band and fled with him to Canada after the Battle. This simply fantastic and remarkable Cabinet Card Photograph carries the mark of the famed Deadwood, South Dakota photographer C. F. Peterson.
During the subsequent fighting at the Battle of Little Big Horn on Custer Hill on June 25, 1876, Rain-in-the-Face is alleged to have cut the heart out of Thomas Custer, a feat that was popularized by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in "The Revenge of Rain in the Face". According to the dubious legend, Rain-in-the-Face was fulfilling a vow of vengeance because he thought Captain Thomas Custer had unjustly imprisoned him in 1874. Some contemporary accounts also claimed that the war chief had personally dispatched George Custer as well, but in the confused fighting, a number of similar claims have been attributed to other warriors. Late in his life, in a conversation with writer Charles Eastman, Rain-in-the-Face denied killing George Custer or mutilating Tom Custer.
