From Sioux Indian Painting published by C. Szwedzicki (1938). “Besides the verbal accounts of the Little Big Horn Battle, the only visual records are those left by the Indians. Of these, the principal one is a long series of drawings done by the Oglala Sioux, Amos Bad Heart Buffalo, who was only six at the time of the battle, but who became the tribal historian…. Bad Heart Buffalo’s series is a masterful piece of primitive ledger art.” Found here.
