COMMENTARY 



The mention of the fact that the hoes had yet to be brought to 

 the scene of the sale implies that the auction was not held at the 

 home of the deceased, but perhaps at some central location. Amid 

 such earthy items as buckskin clothes, a pot and a pig, the violin 

 stands out starthngly; but up until approximately a quarter of a 

 century ago the Oklahoma Cherokee, at least, cultivated square- 

 dance fiddling assiduously, and we know that the art had been among 

 them for generations. 



Mooney labels this document: "Accounts & sale of Property of 

 Gutagiski" and, in another place, "Property Distributn."
