The shirt, probably stripped by a soldier from the corpse of a Miniconjou Lakota at Wounded Knee, has been on display at the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow, Scotland, since 1892. Museum officials said it was acquired from someone in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show.


It was nothing special when it was here and it still would be here if some Indian descendant hadn't been touring the museum.

mile-o-phile, thanks for sharing your information, however I don't agree "It was nothing special"

Let me rephrase that:

It was nothing special to me as an exhibit. Just a glass case with a bit of fabric. The only history it had was what was written on the plaque beside it.

It was 'discovered' by a John Earl in 1991. Here's the story from the time.
