Chief Joseph White Bull
By David Humphreys Miller. Colored pencil and crayon on tinted art paper, drawn from life c. 1939, signed David H. Miller. 10.25"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.
