912 Postcard GALL, Hunkpapa Sioux Indian Chief - 1882 Photo by George Scott – NEW

Orphaned at an early age, Gall was adopted as a younger brother by the Sioux chief Sitting Bull. In many clashes with settlers and the U.S. Army, Gall distinguished himself as an excellent tactician and strategist. At the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Gall is credited with having turned back an initial Indian rout and then luring Custer and his men into an indefensible position, annihilating his force. After this victory, Gall and Sitting Bull faced continual skirmishes and battles with the military, and in May 1877 he followed Sitting Bull into Canada. The Canadian government would not give them a reservation, the herds of buffalo were gone, and Gall and his people faced starvation. He eventually abandoned Sitting Bull and surrendered to the U.S. Army. Once on the Sioux reservation in now South Dakota, Gall urged his people to become more peaceful with the whites.
