- Lot Description
Manuscript map, 17.75 x 21.75 in. (sight). In black and brown (iron gall) inks, trees colored green. Hills and mountains noted by hachures, trees, tipis, horses, soldiers (US and Indians) drawn with figures. Lower right "Compiled and Drawn by Russell White Bear." Compass arrow upper center. In addition to images, there are notes upper right and lower center. "Birdseye view of the Little Big Horn country and a portion of Davies creek (a tributary of the Rosebud) showing where Custer and his men traversed and made their stand: June 25, 1876. / the entire Indian encampment contained about two (2,000) thousand tepees and lodges. / There were about 6000 warriors; the entire village numbered about 17,000." White Bear also notes Reno's skirmish line and his first and second trails, as well as where the Sioux routed Reno's command. He notes the location of Benteen's troops and the pack train. All in addition, of course, to Custer's location and where he was when he realized that his troops had been discovered. Upper right is an enlargement of the area where Custer fought.
Accompanying the map are copies of communications between consignor and the daughter of Russell White Bear, Bernice Hernandez. Mrs. Hernandez relates that her father sold the maps at the Custer Battlefield, and that she was the current (in 1976) copyright holder. She goes on to say that her father was born on the Crow Reservation about 1882 and was well-educated (at Carlisle). White Bear served as secretary of the Crow council for a time.
Framed and glazed. Not removed from frame for examination. A few edge tears barely visible along the edge of the mat. Light overall toning.Condition
