    Description

    This is an original etching from Harper's Weekly from January 13, 1866 of Native Americans chasing a mounted messenger.  He is shooting a pistol while they are with spears and bows.  One messenger is shot in the heart and his horse was hit by 2 arrows as well.  This
    measures
    10 x 15 inches and this history treasure would look great framed in your collection.
    I am listing a number of Native American images from this era.  It was a terrible and bloody era when a high percentage of the Native American population was wiped out in North America.  I weep for what happened then, and in no way to I condone the actions that occured.  My hope by selling these images is that they will tell a story that will live on.  Some of the stories show the struggles and others push a sterotype.  I hope their story and the education they can tell lives on in you as you purchase these.
