Summary
Ledger book with drawings of battle scenes between Indigenous warriors and between Indigenous people and white soldiers on the Great Plains. The Indigenous warriors wield guns, bows and arrows, spears, tomahawks, and other weapons. Some are on horseback, while others are on foot. One dynamic battle scene depicts Ute warrior Yellow Nose capturing Colonel George Armstrong Custer's flag during the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. In several battle scenes, two figures are identified in manuscript, one as Cheyenne leader "Whirlwind" and the others as a "Pawnee". Many drawings feature horses, whether as part of battle scenes or alone.
