“This book is about Indians, as seen by an artist who was born sixteen years before General Custer was killed at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.  The artist, Joseph Henry Sharp, watched and recorded a way of life long since faded from our view. He painted 212 portraits of Indians who fought against Custer, and for sixty years, he studied and painted the Pueblo Indians and landscapes of the Southwest.  But more importantly, he left a rich legacy of stories, photographs and paintings which reveals the American Indian as he was.”
