EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures a dramatic scene from the late 19th century, depicting the Cheyenne people in a moment of struggle and resilience. The ledger drawing, created by an anonymous Native American artist, showcases the intense battle between the Cheyennes and their adversaries. In this particular image, we witness two men and three horses bravely navigating through a chaotic landscape riddled with bullet holes. The wounds inflicted upon them are evident as they stagger forward, displaying their unwavering determination despite their injuries. One man wears a war bonnet, symbolizing his status as a respected warrior within his community. The other man dons a single feather, perhaps signifying his own unique role or significance. The artist skillfully employs different combinations of crayon pencil, crayon, and graphite pencil to bring this historical event to life on paper. Each stroke conveys not only the physical pain endured but also the emotional turmoil experienced during times of conflict. Through this artwork's intricate details and poignant imagery, we gain insight into the bravery and strength exhibited by these native warriors in defending their land and way of life. It serves as both a testament to their resilience in facing adversity and an important reminder of Native American history that should be acknowledged and celebrated today.
