Chief Red Horse detailed and recorded his experiences at the Battle of Little Bighorn in pictographs and text in 1881 at the Cheyenne River Reservation. Chief Red Horse fought for the Lakota tribe as a sub chief. His firsthand account of the battle stands as one of the most trusted sources of the battle. His written recollections recall how General Custer was viewed as courageous during the battle. He detailed how the Native Americans were frightened of fighting “walking soldiers” and would retreat when these men were spotted. Chief Red Horse fought bravely against American troops who he perceived as threatening to his way of life and left behind the legacy of written word about this incident.
