Description
Only a few short months after the Battle of Greasy Grass, or the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Charles Edward Stuart MacDonald could be found in London with his troupe of “trained Sioux” – members of that tribe so recently the “savage” undoing of General Custer. Rather than performing traditional customs, however, MacDonald trained his troupe in miliitary drill, “proving” their amenability to the demands of “civilised” warfare.
