Army captain (1834–1898) who served in Custer’s 7th Cavalry as commander of Company H at the time of the massacre at Little Big Horn. Benteen ignored direct orders to rush to Custer’s aid, prompting Custer’s widow to place the blame for her husband’s death on Benteen’s shoulders. Original unsigned head-and-shoulders portrait of Benteen in uniform with a pipe clenched between his teeth, trimmed to a size of 5.75 x 7.5. Photo is blindstamped in the lower right “Barry.” In very good condition, with aforementioned trimming, scattered light creasing and rippling, some through facial area, and irregular areas of emulsion.
