NO. 5 SITTING BULL STIRLING 33 



No. 51 



"A fort into which his enemies the Crows, have retreated and from 

 which they maintain a hot fire through which Sitting Bull charges 

 the fort." '' — Kimball. 



'^ This drawing actually represents an exploit of Jumping Bull. It is errone- 

 ously attributed to Sitting Bull by Kimball. (See p. 7.) 



This apparently represents the feat of Jumping Bull performed at Spoon 

 Horn Butte, where he drew the fire of the Crows in order to empty their guns 

 before the Sioux charged. This exploit is described in Vestal, 1932, p. 116. 



No. 52 



"In a fight with the Crows, Sitting Bull kills and scalps one Indian, 

 and counts 'coup' on another who fired at him barely missing him." " 

 — Kimball. 



■" For details concerning this exploit see Vestal, 1932, chap. 16. 



"1869. Near the Big Dry. An incident of the battle in which the 

 thirty Crows were killed. Sitting Bull, wearing a horned bonnet and 

 beaded leggins, charges the rocky barrier (indicated by the circle), 

 and counts coup upon a Crow, who fires in his face, but misses. The 

 air is full of flying lead." — Vestal.
