Amazing story about a Japanese Katana that Chief Red Cloud owned and had on the wall of his cabin

Another photo of a Indian with a Katana and a 1875? ivory griped? Remington revolver.

Would like to get more information about this- questions like? Were there more? Were they taught how to use them? How did the Japanese steel get to the American west?

Probably we will never know for sure.

Reminds me of the old Bronson movie "Red Sun"
 
Very interesting!
