[LATE INDIAN WARS]. A group of 28 photographs from the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and other Custer Memorials, comprising:

8 1/4 x 5 1/8 in., or smaller, silver gelatin photographs, comprised of snapshots and other images capturing activities surrounding the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, 25-26 June 1926, as well as the Dedication of the Custer Monument in Monroe, Michigan, 4 June 1910, and several photographs from the estate of Taos artist Joseph H. Sharp (most very good, some with toning, light edge/corner wear, "Burial of Unknown Soldier Found on Reno Battlefield" with loss to top right corner). The 26 snapshots of the 50th anniversary were apparently taken by the daughter of Captain George F. Yates, Co. F., 7th Cavalry and descended in his estate. Yates, like Custer, died at the Little Big Horn. Notables depicted in these images are General Edward Settle Godfrey (K Company); Red Tomahawk (who later killed Sitting Bull); Red Bull; scenes on Last Stand Hill, the parade at Crow Agency, and various other scenes.

[With:] 2 real photo postcards of President W.H. Taft and Elizabeth Custer unveiling the Custer Monument in Monroe Michigan.

The Forrest Fenn Collection
