A solemn, contemplative photo of the Lakota chief (1822-1909), dressed in buckskin shirt with quills, fringe and beadwork, and a single feather in his hair. He looks to be about 60 years old. The 7.5 x 9.5" photo is encased in glass. Period writing on the reverse reads: "Red Cloud, Ogalalla (sic) Sioux/ Buffalo Endian (sic) Photo Co. / Buffalo NY. A warrior and statesman, Red Cloud was an important 19th century leader. He was noted for his successful resistance to and confrontations with the U.S. Government in fighting for the needs and autonomy of his people. He served as chief from 1868 to his death in 1909.
