Little Big Man ledger drawings

[carlo]

Don't think these have been shared here yet: a set of four ledger drawings by Little Big Man, Oglala Lakota. While not exactly on the same artistic level as Bad Heart Bull or Jaw, they are fascinating nonetheless.

All four show him fighting the Crows. In the last one he has drawn the glyph of his preferred name, Charging Bear.
I especially like how he depicted his war shirt in the bottom two vignettes, denoting his leadership (probably Wakichunze, possibly Shirt Wearer.)
