146 PICTOGRAPHS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS. 



No. II. Seven of Eed-Cloud's band were killed by the Crows. 



White-Cow-Killer calls it "Five -Dakotas-killed winter." 



1876-77. — No. I. The Oglalas helped General Mackenzie to whip the 

 Cheyennes. The Indian's head represents the man who was the first to 

 enter the Cheyenne village. The white man holding up three fingers is 

 General Mackenzie, who is placed upon the head of the Dakota to indi- 

 cate that the Dakotas backed or assisted him. The other white man is 

 General Crook, or Three Stars, as indicated by the three stars above 

 him. 



[This designation might be suggested from the uniform, but General 

 Crook did not probably wear during the year mentioned or for a long 

 time before it the uniform either of his rank as major-general of volun- 

 teers or as brevet major general in the Army, and by either of those 

 ranks he was entitled to but two stars on his shoulder-straps.] 



No. II. Three-Stars (General Crook) took Red-Cloud's, young men to 

 help him fight the Cheyennes. A red cloud, indicating the chief's 

 name, is represented above his head. 



White-Cow-Killer calls it "General-Mackenzie-took-tkeRed-Cloud- 

 Indians'-horses-awayfrom-them winter." 



1877-'78. — No. I. A soldier ran a bayonet into Crazy-Horse, and killed 

 him in the guard house, at Fort Robinson, Nebraska (September 5, 

 1S77). 



No. II. Crazy- Horse's band left the Spotted Tail Agency (at Camp 

 Sheridan, Nebraska), and went norih, after Crazy-Horse was killed at 

 Fort Robinson, Nebraska. Hoof-prints and lodge pole tracks run north- 

 ward from the house, which represents the Agency. That the horse is 

 crazy is shown by the waved or spiral lines on his body, running from 

 his nose, foot, and forehead. 



White-Cow-Killer calls it " Crazy-Horse-killed winter." 



1878-79. — No. I. Wagons were given to them. 



No. II. The Cheyenne who boasted that he was bullet and arrow 

 proof was killed by white soldiers, near Fort Robinson, Nebraska, in 

 the intrenchments behind which the Cheyennes were defending them- 

 selves after they had escaped from the fort. 



White-Cow-Killer calls it " Wagons- givento-the-Dakota-Iudians win- 

 ter."
