The Buffalo
Horn Headdress was worn by the Sioux Indians in various battle
they fought. This headdress is an
example of how spiritual the plains Indians were and how much they believed
superstition. I took a picture of
this headdress and used the personal photo in my website on the page titled
“A Way
of Life Worth Fighting For”.
The
photo of Sioux Buffalo
Skin Clothing is one of my personal photographs that I used in the section
“A way of Life Worth Fighting For”. It was an example of how the plain
Indians used the buffalo.
Hardoff, Richard. Lakota Recollections of the Custer
Fight New Sources of Indian Military History Spokane, Washington: University
of Nebraska Press, 1997.
The many interviews of Sioux Indians in this
book gave me some insight on the Indians perspective of the Battle of Little Bighorn and their ideas and
thoughts on this topic. This book
helped me picture what the Battle
was like based on what the Sioux Warriors said.
Kicking Bear. The
Battle of
Little Bighorn. Southwest Museum, Los Angeles.
Kicking
Bear made this drawing years after The Battle of Little
Bighorn. It shows accurate
perspective of the battle. It shows
the fierceness and intensity of the battle by the graphic violence drawn in the
picture. I have a postcard of the
drawing by Kicking Bear that I used in my website in the” Little Bighorn:
The Aftermath” section.
United States Congress. The Fort Laramie Treaty, signed April 29, 1868
The
treaty shows the agreement made by the United States Government and the
Sioux Indians. The United
States ended up breaking this treaty. It helps me understand how the battle
came about and why the Indians were so angry at the
government for cheating them.

picture of a Custer from this site.

Brown, Dee. Showdown
at Little Bighorn. New
York: Putnam, 1964.
This book was very interesting. The Author writes it as a story, using
information from letters, interviews, and other sources. I learned what Custer was thinking when
he left the Gatling guns behind, and about the
Seventh Cavalry and what they were like. I also used pictures from this book on
the The Battle
of Little Bighorn
page.

me with many pictures such as Curly, the scout, the Gatling
gun, and Custer in the Black Hills Expedition.
