This is an original L.A. Huffman Native American cabinet card photograph from the 1880's. The photograph is marked "#2 Scorched Lightning Assiniboine". Scorched Lightning was a noted warrior within the Sioux tribe. In the photograph, he is seen in a fancy beaded buckskin shirt as well as a Grizzly Bear claw necklace. The bottom of the cabinet card is marked "Miles City M.T. (Montana Territory)" which indicates the photograph was created sometime after Huffman's arrival in Miles City in 1879 and before Montana became a state in 1889. A great historical Montana Territory piece. The original cabinet card photograph by L.A. Huffman is in good condition with no visible damage. It has been professionally matted and framed. The frame measures 9.25" x 11.5".
