- Lot Description
Deadwood Daily Pioneer. Deadwood, South Dakota (Black Hills): January 9, 1891. Vol 14, No 166. 4pp, 20 x 24 in.
Front page news of the aftermath of the massacre at Wounded Knee published in South Dakota newspaper.
Considered the last major battle of the Indian Wars, the Wounded Knee massacre took place on December 29, 1890 and concluded with the deaths of more than 150 Lakota Indians. The slaughter sparked outrage among many neighboring tribes, and some attempted to attack US soldiers a few days later.
The front-page article featured in the Deadwood Daily Pioneer provides a detailed account of the Drexel Mission Fight from a special correspondent with Carr's command, speaking about a small band of American Indians that attacked troops near Wounded Knee on New Year's Day. The correspondent concludes:
Taking all in all it was a lovely little battle. The first one which the Indians deliberately planned and attacked a body of US soldiers. That bloody execution was not done on the soldiers, is to be attributed to the fine military judgement displayed by Captain Herr, who, with Lieutenant Howze, behaved in a suburb manner...The enemy loss of life I give at sight of my own knowledge. It was probably much greater than our loss, which was one horse killed, three wounded.
