Albumen photograph, 5.125 x 7.25 in., on 11 x 14 in. Hayden Survey mount with credit at lower left to W.H. Jackson. A studio view of Brulé Lakota Chief Two Strike's wife, originally taken by Alexander Gardner in 1872. Two Strike (1831-1914) was a fierce opponent on the battlefield, having received his name after he unhorsed two men with one swing of his war club in the midst of a battle with Utes.

He also notably served as a principle chief over a large group of Brulé and Oglala braves during the attack on a band of Pawnee Indians at Massacre Canyon in August of 1873. It is reported that he was also a proponent of the Ghost Dance movement, which led to the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890. Provenance:American Indian Photography Collection of John W. Painter (1929-2008) Condition: Image is slightly faded in lower portion. Otherwise very good condition. Few minor spots on mount.
