Cabinet card photograph of Washakie standing in profile, holding his pipe authoritatively in the center of a group of Shoshone Indians, with Baker and Johnston, Evanston, WY imprint on verso. Washakie (ca.1804-1900) was a lifelong friend to whites, assisting travelers and troops through his treacherous homeland terrain. In 1876, he joined forces with the military as both a scout and warrior and served under Gen. George Crook pushing Crazy Horse into the Powder River Country. He was praised by Presidents Grant and Arthur, and was buried with full military honors. Condition: Mount curves upward; some light wear along mount perimeter, with a few penciled marks along lower edge of mount; otherwise in very good to near excellent condition.
