Note that this poster features art by Holger Matthies. Matthies is a German graphic artist from the 1970s to the present. Over the course of more than four decades, he has designed more than 1000 posters, making him one of the world's most prolific poster artists. He is best known for his designs for theater and opera productions, exhibitions, concerts, and political satire shows. His portfolio is further swelled by social and political posters, cover designs for magazines and books, as well as numerous LP and CD covers. He has said that, "Posters should be like pocket knives - spring open, dissect and get under the skin." The Battle of Blue Water, also called the Battle of Ash Hollow, was one of the first major clash between U.S. soldiers and the Sioux Indians in the American West. In 1855, to punish the Sioux for their depredations following the Grattan Fight near Fort Laramie, Wyoming the previous year, the Army sent out Colonel William S. Harney and an expedition of 600 men from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas to the Sioux village of Little Thunder in Blue Water Creek Valley, just above the creek's junction with the North Platte River. By a circuitous route, dragoons entered the valley and advanced downstream, while Harney and a force of infantrymen marched up the valley from the Platte. Attacked from two directions on September 3, 1855, the Indians scattered, but not before the troops killed 80 warriors, wounded five, and captured 70 women and children. Four soldiers met their deaths and seven suffered wounds. Artist: Holger Matthies Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
