Cabinet card photograph of Chief Gall's Camp, captured by O.S. Goff, photographer based in Bismarck, Dakota Territory, dating to 1881 — months after Gall's return from exile in Canada to surrender at Fort Buford in January of that year.
Born in 1840 along the Moreau River in present-day South Dakota, Gall rose to become a protégé of Sitting Bull and one of the most tactically gifted warriors of the Northern Plains. He fought at the Battle of Killdeer Mountain in 1864, survived a bayoneting by U.S. soldiers near Fort Berthold in 1865, and played a decisive role at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, where he suffered the loss of two wives and three children before leading warriors against Custer's battalion. Following years of exile in Canada, Gall broke with Sitting Bull and returned to Standing Rock, where he allied with Indian Agent James McLaughlin and became a leader of the progressive faction of the tribe until his death in 1894. From a private collection in Utah.
