About this Item
Description:
Original Photograph. Carte-de-visite (cdv). Image: 3.375" x 2.375". Mount: 4.125" x 2.5". A major Sioux leader during the Plains Indian wars, Spotted Tail, was known as Jumping Buffalo as a youth, getting his adult name from a striped raccoon pelt given to him by a trapper. Spotted Tail won his laurels as a chief by merit in battle and diplomacy. His title was not hereditary; when Chief Little Thunder died, the tribal council ignored the hereditary line and selected Spotted Tail to become Chief. Disliked by Red Cloud, another important chief, Spotted Tail remained influential until his death at the hands of Crow Dog, a Sioux sub-chief, on August 5,1881. A couple of minor marks and some slight fading. Very good. Seller Inventory # 53059
