A dramatic centerpiece from Ed’s early Black Frontier Spirit in the American West series, Battle of Clay Creek Mission brings to life a pivotal moment during the Pine Ridge Campaign. In January 1891, Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th Cavalry rushed to reinforce the embattled 7th Cavalry under siege near Drexel (Clay) Creek, driving off roughly 1,800 Sioux warriors and earning a Medal of Honor for corporal William O. Wilson. Ed’s sweeping, action-filled composition captures that courageous charge—horses rearing, rifles firing, valor on display.

A historic and exhilarating work—an essential statement piece that honors Black military legacy and is a vital part of Ed's personal collection.
