Ned Christie (Dec. 14, 1852-Nov. 3 1892) was a Cherokee statesman. Ned was a member of the executive council in the Cherokee Nation senate, and served as one of three advisers to Chief Bushyhead. He was notable for holding off American lawmen in what was later called Ned Christie's War, after being accused, wrongfully according to testimony in 1918, of murdering a United States Marshal. This gave him notoriety as an outlaw, and he was eventually killed by lawmen.
This picture of Christie reveals that the emerging art/science of photography allowed for a certain fetishizing of the dead body–that the corpse, via mechanical reproduction, might somehow live on. Grisly.

11/3/1892 - Armed with a cannon, dynamite and over 25 men, Cherokee Senator Ned Christie is assassinated by U.S. Marshals after an almost five-year standoff. Revered by many as a Cherokee patriot, he was accused by the federal gov of the 1887 murder of U.S. Deputy Marshal Dan Maples. A Cherokee traditionalist, Ned Christie always proclaimed his innocence, he refused to turn himself in to the US Gov to stand trial before a judge and jury of white men for a murder he did not commit.

To the Cherokee people, Zeke Proctor was a hero. To the U.S. Marshals Service, a murderer. He’s shown here, circa 1868, four years before an altercation that would lead to the largest single loss of life in the history of the marshals agency.
