L.A. Huffman (1835-1931), an immensely influential and historically important frontier photographer of the American West, documented Montana's cowboys, ranchers, landscapes and native populations in their natural states. "View of Camp of Cheyenne Chief, American Horse," was taken circa 1889 and is housed in a 26 1/4 inches by 30 3/8 inch frame with double gold borders. The print portrays the view of Chief American Horse's camp with teepees on the vast, grass-covered, American prairie with accompanying horses in the background. Chief American Horse was a well-respected scout in the United States Army and the son of the famed Sitting Bear. American Horse signed a treaty in 1887 and led the delegation to Washington, D.C in 1891. He was proponent of creating positive relations between whites and the natives, and helped with the founding of the Carlisle School in Pennsylvania. The work is unsigned and on the back of the frame is marked "American Horse's Camp/at Cheyenne Reservation" Provenance: The John Fox Collection

Very fine with some light handling marks on the frame and a clear image with a small stain in the lower right corner.
