EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the stoic presence of Wooden Leg, a renowned warrior of the Northern Cheyenne tribe. The image showcases his strong features and intense gaze, reflecting both his resilience and determination. Wooden Leg's significance lies in his participation in the historic Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, where he fought valiantly against General Custer's troops. This iconic moment in Native American history is immortalized through this timeless portrait. Adorned with a magnificent feathered headdress, Wooden Leg proudly displays his tribal costume, symbolizing not only his heritage but also the rich cultural traditions of Native Americans. His attire serves as a powerful reminder of their deep connection to nature and their spiritual beliefs. The photographer, DeLancey W. Gill, skillfully captures every intricate detail with remarkable clarity. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when Native American tribes roamed freely across North America. This print from Peter Newark American Pictures offers us an intimate glimpse into the life of one extraordinary individual who played a significant role in shaping American history.
