"A Matter of Honor" is the second bronze image in the trilogy of Crow King, following Dave's widely acclaimed work "Trophies of Honor". Crow King, a Hunkpapa Sioux Chief, commanded the mounted warriors at Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876 and was critical to the Sioux success, preventing Custer's troops from reaching the river. He and his famous dapple gray war horse survived unharmed. Even today, through stories passed down from generation to generation, the legacy of Crow King and his accomplishments in battle live on in the hearts of the Sioux.
