1876
Maker: Harper's Weekly.
Antique black and white print published in Harper's Weekly on October 28, 1876. This page shows images from the The Great Sioux War of 1876, also known as the Black Hills War. This was a series of battles and negotiations which occurred in 1876 and 1877 between the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and the United States. The cause of the war was the desire of the U.S. government to obtain ownership of the Black Hills. Images include: A Sick Soldier on a Travau; Deadwood City, Black Hills of Dakota. Text on back is slightly visible through the page. Overall good to very good antique condition with some minor stains, edge wear, and slight creases in the paper. Should look good if framed. Page dimensions are approx. 16.25 x 11 inches.
