Chief Joseph White Bull. Signed

By David Humphreys Miller. Colored pencil and crayon on tinted art paper, drawn from life c. 1939, signed D. H. Miller. 11"x8". Chief Joseph White Bull, a "scalp-shirt" wearer or principal chief of the Minneconjou Sioux, amassed an enviable record of courage at the Little Big Horn, in which he counted 7 coups and killed two soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. He later believed that one of the men he slew had been Custer himself. This portrait is signed by Chief Joseph White Bull.
