Ashishishe, known as Curly, (1856–1923), was a Crow scout in the United States Army during the Sioux Wars. He was one of the few survivors on the United States side at the Battle of Little Bighorn, and was the first to report the defeat of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. Fantastic 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo of the Crow scout in an intense full-length pose, taken by pioneering Western photographer D. F. Barry, with caption along the bottom border, "Curley, General Custer's Scout and only Survivor of that Horrible Massacre." In fine condition, with light soiling to the borders and some surface loss to the reverse edges.
