I've noticed some fantasy photos here involving cavalry troopers having been dispatched by warpath Native Americans...in this case, an actual photo of the result of a trooper killed then mutilated by them...snatched from the book Bugles, Banners, and War Bonnets by Ernest Reedstrom. He was shot with arrows, brained, scalped, his heart cut out (probably to be eaten) and his leg muscles were slashed. He also had his throat cut and his scrotum appears to be slashed or poked.
