General George A Custer. C 1865. I was fascinated by this post by @stereoscopichistory (may I repost ?!) stereo is such a powerful medium for portraits. Look into those eyes (which I believe were blue). Do you see a man who could mercilessly destroy a village full of women and children ? The Sioux arranged a particularly merciless death for the white man they hated the most. If you’re interested in this sad piece of history, I recommend a book called “Bury my heart at Wounded Knee” by Russell Means, which tells ‘How the West Was Won’ from a Native Indian perspective. It changed my view of my world and my race. Forever.
