Description: ⫸ 915 Postcard RAIN-IN-THE-FACE, Hunkpapa Sioux Indian – 1902 Photo by Frank Fiske – NEW Rain-in-the-Face was from the Hunkpapa band within the Lakota nation. His name may have been a result of a fight when he was a boy in which his face was splattered like rain with his Cheyenne adversary's blood. In 1868, he fought the US Army in the Fetterman massacre (The Fetterman Massacre or Battle of the Hundred-in-the-Hands, was a battle during Red Cloud's War on December 21,1866, between a confederation of the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Indians and soldiers of the United States Army, based at Fort Phil Kearny, Wyoming). He again took part in the Battle of Honsinger Bluff (between the United States Army and the Sioux people on August 4, 1873 along the Yellowstone River near present-day Miles City, Montana). In 1874, he was arrested by Captain Thomas Custer for murder and was incarcerated, but later escaped. He joined Sitting Bull's band and traveled to the Little Big Horn River. During the subsequent fighting at the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876, Rain-in-the-Face is alleged to have killed George Custer and cut the heart out of Thomas Custer (George's brother). Later in life, Rain-in-the-Face denied killing either Custer. New postcard .. no issues. Measures approximately 4” X 6”. Any scanner image banding does not exist on the postcard.
