WASHITA RIVER, 1868 - A Celebration of Triumph
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this wood engraving from 1868, we witness a powerful moment in American history. The image showcases Osage and Kiowa scouts, loyal to the U. S. Seventh Cavalry under the command of George Armstrong Custer, rejoicing in their hard-fought victory over Black Kettle and the Cheyennes at Washita River in Indian Territory. The scene takes place amidst an encampment on a moonlit night. Men gather around a roaring fire in the middle of the camp, casting flickering shadows that dance upon their faces. Their bodies sway rhythmically to the beat of tribal drums as they celebrate their triumph with exuberant dances. These brave warriors stand proudly with shields and spears held high, embodying both strength and unity. Their dedication to serving alongside Custer's troops reflects their commitment to protecting their land and way of life during America's westward expansion. This wood engraving serves as a testament to the resilience and bravery displayed by these Native American tribes during a tumultuous time in history. It captures not only a victorious moment but also honors the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our nation. As we gaze upon this print from The Granger Collection, let us remember those who fought valiantly for what they believed in - both Native Americans defending their ancestral lands and soldiers fulfilling their duty - forever etching this significant event into our collective memory.
