This is a fine sepia card depicting The Cheyenne War Chief "Two Moons" in his splendid national dress. Standing over six feet four inches this handsome Chief is best remembered for his brave and daring exploits as one of the nine Warrior Chiefs of The Fox Warrior Society that fought General Custer and the seventh Cavalry at the "Battle of the Little Big Horn" He is credited with being the only Cheyenne warrior to have carried a repeating rifle during that battle. Following the surrender of the Cheyenne to General Miles at Fort Keogh. Two Moons was chosen as one of the principle Chiefs.
Thank you for this very interesting card Amy..I really like it. This is a very admired and interesting culture and history.
