Cabinet card photograph of Crow Foot, Sitting Bull's son .
Bismarck, circa 1888. Albumen image on the photographer's mount (6 ½ x 4 ¼ inches, 163x105 mm, overall) With a contemporary printed caption mounted below the image; photographer's backmark on verso. Condition: Light soiling and wear. Provenance : R. H. Mull (inscription on verso dated 1888). scarce photograph of sitting bull's son, taken shortly before being killed. Crow Foot (1876-1890), Sitting Bull's son, was born just a few weeks before his father's victory at Little Bighorn. When Sitting Bull surrendered to the U.S. Army in July 1881, it was Crow Foot who symbolically handed over his father's gun. Crow Foot lived with his father at the Standing Rock agency in the 1880s and no doubt traveled with him to nearby Bismarck at the time of this photograph. This image, taken in Barry's studio, depicts Crow Foot standing in profile, wearing an elaborate feathered war bonnet. On 15 December 1890, Sitting Bull and Crow Foot were killed after refusing arrest on the grounds that they were supporting the Ghost Dance movement.
